"And I," said Stana, "would weave my husband a shirt, in which he could fight against dragons, go through water without being wet, or fire without being burned." "Listen to me, sisters," said Anna "if one of those youths should choose me for his wife, I'd knead a loaf of bread which, when he had eaten it, would make him always feel young and brave." When they saw the sisters, they curbed their horses and rode more slowly. It was the emperor's son, hunting with his friends and courtiers, all handsome, stately youths, sitting their horses as if they were a part of their steeds, but the handsomest and proudest of all rode the most fiery charger, and was the emperor's son himself. While searching for them, they heard the tramp of horses' hoofs, as if a whole troop of cavalry were dashing up. One summer day, when the sunbeams were growing less scorching, the three sisters went to the edge of the forest to pick strawberries. There was an emperor, who ruled over a whole world, and in this world lived an old shepherd and shepherdess, who had three daughters, Anna, Stana, and Laptitza(Little Milk-white).Īnna, the oldest sister, was so beautiful that the sheep stopped feeding when she went among them Stana, the second, was so lovely that the wolves watched the herd when she was the shepherdess, but Laptitza, the youngest, who had a skin as white as the foam of milk, and hair as soft as the wool of the lambkins, was as beautiful as both of her sisters put together, beautiful as only she herself could be. If it hadn't happened, it wouldn't be told.
