As she was gathering herbs, she heard a voice:
- A human soul is not to be seen here. Nobody remembers me.
It was and old woman sitting on a rock. The princess said to her:
- What do you want, old lady? Are you gathering herbs too? Give
me your basket and I will fill it with the best I have.
The old woman was pleased with the good heart of the girl and
said:
- My poor,poor girl! What terrible things you will have to go
through! But don‘t show any fear, because you will make it.
When the girl heard those words,she became surprised.
