fall on it; but no one can wash them out but one born of
Christian folk: it cannot be done by one of a pack of
trolls; and then I will say that no one shall ever be my bride
but the woman who can do this; and I know that you
can。〃 There was great joy and gladness between them all
that night; but the next day; when the wedding was to
take place; the Prince said; 〃I must see what my bride
can do。〃 〃That you may do;〃 said the stepmother。
〃I have a fine shirt which I want to wear as my wedding
shirt; but three drops of tallow have got upon it which I
want to have washed off; and I have vowed to marry no
one but the woman who is able to do it。 If she cannot do
that; she is not worth having。〃
Well; that was a very small matter; they thought; and
agreed to do it。 The Princess with the long nose began
to wash as well as she could; but; the more she washed and
rubbed; the larger the spots grew。 〃Ah! you can't wash
at all;〃 said the old troll…hag; who was her mother。 〃Give
it to me。〃 But she too had not had the shirt very long in
her hands before it looked worse still; and; the more she
washed it and rubbed it; the larger and blacker grew the
spots。
So the other trolls had to come and wash; but; the more
they did; the blacker and uglier grew the shirt; until at
length it was as black as if it had been up the chimney。
〃Oh;〃 cried the Prince; 〃not one of you is good for
anything at all! There is a beggar…girl sitting outside the
window; and I'll be bound that she can wash better than
any of you! Come in; you girl there!〃 he cried。 So she
came in。 〃Can you wash this shirt clean?〃 he cried。 〃Oh!
I don't know;〃 she said; 〃but I will try。〃 And no sooner
had she taken the shirt and dipped it in the water than
it was white as driven snow; and even whiter than that。
〃I will marry you;〃 said the Prince。
Then the old troll…hag flew into such a rage that she
burst; and the Princess with the long nose and all the
little trolls must have burst too; for they have never been
heard of since。 The Prince and his bride set free all the
Christian folk who were imprisoned there; and took away
with them all the gold and silver that they could carry;
and moved far away from the castle which lay east of the
sun and west of the moon。'1'
'1' Asbjornsen and Moe。
