unkind and hard-hearted: they must live
in the little house by the gate and back
of the house and work for you. The
son must take care of the grounds and
the garden and the old woman must
help in the house.
IF they do this and you want them
to live here they can stay, but IL find
they do not work shall come for them
and take them back to the three roads
and the fairy will then decide what
shall be done with them"
The old woman and her son looked 50
unhappy that Freda said she was sure
that they would do as the lion said and
he trotted OF. :.
Freda took them to the comfortable
little house by her gate and they prom
ised to do the work and never bother
anyone.
Freda then went into the house and
finished furnishing her home, and the
man in the turban appeared to help her
whenever she wished his help.
The old woElan and her son kept their
promise and did their work, and II they
ever thought II was strange they were
working for the poor girl they once
abused they did not betray the thought
The only thing left of the river Is a
fountain that plays In front Of Freda
door. The two roads have disar peared
also. and after awhile Freda ceased to
wonder at her good fortune, but she
ALWAYS felt that 1t should be used to
help others as well as to make her COM
Portable, and no one ever went hungry
from her door.

They found themselves in the same
path that Freda had taken. and pres
emily they saw the lion.
He growled and ran toward them,
frightening the old woman and her son
SO that they ran toward the three roads;
but instead Of keeping together they
separated, the son taking the road at
the right Of the river and the old
woman the left
After running quite a distance they
looked around and found that the lion
was not in sight, and then they discoe-
cred that the roads ran along the banks
OF the river. The old woman was on
one side and the son on the other, but
they could not reach each other, as
there was no boat IN which to cross the
water
They walked along for a long time, the
old woman scolding her son and telling
MIN he was the cause Of all the trouble
because he opened the door to the chim-
ney. At last they were so tired they
laid down and went to sleep. In the
morning they saw the house on the
Island. and they began calling for help.
Freda was Just coming out of the
door Of the house and heard them. She
ran to the boat and got into II, repeat
ing the sending lines:
Away, away, / wish to ride,
Over the water smoothly glide.
II wonder who they can be:' thought
Freda as the boat glided along.
When the boat reached the bank
where the old woman was Freda STOP
ped 1t by repeating the lines
I now have reached my journeys end,
Stop until 1 further send.
She was so frightened when she saw
the old woman that she began to trem-
BILE. ~
The lazy son recognized her from the
other side, of the river and he called to
his mother: Pull her hair. Pull her
hairl She Is a witchr'
The old woman was as angry as her
son and stepped into the boat to do as
he told her.
AS she did so over went the boat and
Freda went into the water with her.
The son at the same time saw the lion
running toward him, and to escape he
plunged into the water.
But while the old woman and her son
were struggling In the river Freda was
not having any trouble, for the water
seemed to flow from around her and she
walked on dry land.
The lion was walking beside her and
Freda said: do save them; do not
want them to drown
Very WE'LL" said the lion, you will
not want this river any more, and IL
you will clap your hands and wish. you
can save them
Freda clapped her hands and wished
them safe beside her.
The water disappeared and the old
woman and her son walked toward her
and the black had disappeared from
their hands.
They were very meek, for the fright
they had just received had taken all the
temper from them.
Come with me-" said Freda, "and
will give you dry clothes and some food !;
you must be hungry"
But the lion stood in the doorway.
