they were about to thrust the couch into the stream . the girl 's parents said farewell to her amid tears . but si - men bade them wait . he said : " do not be in such a hurry ! i have appeared in person to escort the bride , hence everything must be done solemnly and in order . first some one must go to the river - god 's castle . let him know that he may come himself and fetch his bride . "
sad .
how did the river-bride's parents feel when they said farewell to their daughter ?
