Once when they had spent the night in the wood and the dawn had

roused them, they saw a beautiful child in a shining white dress

sitting near their bed. He got up and looked quite kindly at

them, but said nothing and went into the forest. And when they

looked round they found that they had been sleeping quite close

to a precipice, and would certainly have fallen into it in the

darkness if they had gone only a few paces further. And their

mother told them that it must have been the angel who watches

over good children.
