When the mother had taken a sup at her flask, and was having a nap, the little robber maiden went to the Reindeer, and said, "I should very much like to give you still many a tickling with the sharp knife, for then you are so amusing; however, I will untether you, and help you out, so that you may go back to Lapland. But you must make good use of your legs; and take this little girl for me to the palace of the Snow Queen, where her playfellow is. You have heard, I suppose, all she said; for she spoke loud enough, and you were listening."
Pero es igual, te desataré y te ayudaré a escapar, para que te marches a Laponia. Pero cuida de brincar con ánimos y de conducir a esta niña al palacio de la Reina de las Nieves, donde está su compañero de juegos. Ya oíste su relato, pues hablaba bastante alto y tú escuchabas.
