The Goose Girl(Part3)

The next day, as the girl and Konrad passed through the dark gate to take the geese to pasture early in the morning, she spoke to the head of Falada and said:

“O Falada, who is pinned up there?”

And the head replied:

"O young queen, as you pass by here!

If your mother knew of this event,

Her heart would break into a thousand pieces."

Then the girl quietly and calmly left the city and, along with Konrad, took the geese to the countryside. After reaching the meadow, she sat on the grass and let her hair, which shone like pure gold, down. The boy, enchanted by the brilliance of the girl's hair, came over to grab it and pull some strands. But the girl said:

"O gentle breeze, blow, blow,

Throw Konrad’s cap away,

So he will have to chase after it, and I

Can comb my hair,

And cover my head again."

At this, a strong wind arose, carrying away the boy's cap to the field, and he had to run after it for a while. When the boy returned, the girl had brushed her hair and covered it again so that he could not grab it or take any of it. The boy became angry with this situation and stopped talking to the girl. Thus, they herded the geese until evening and then returned home.

On the morning of the next day, when they passed through the dark gate to go after the geese, the young girl said:

“O Falada, who is pinned up there?”

And Falada answered:

"O young queen, as you pass by here,

If your mother knew of this story,

Her heart would break into a thousand pieces."

Then they reached the pasture once again. The girl sat on the grass and began to let down her hair. The boy once again rushed towards her to grab it, but the girl said:

"O gentle breeze, blow, blow,

Throw Konrad’s cap away,

So he will have to chase after it, and I

Can comb my hair,

And cover my head again."
