The girl wandered about in the forest until night, and then she too reached the house of the old man, was told to go in, and begged for food and a bed. The man with the white beard again asked the animals, "Pretty little hen, Pretty little cock, And pretty brindled cow, What say ye to that?" The animals again replied "Duks," and everything happened just as it had happened the day before.
It was not long before the cock and the hen began to thrust their heads beneath their wings, and the eyes of the cow likewise began to blink. Then said the girl, "Ought we not to go to bed?" "Pretty little hen, Pretty little cock, And pretty brindled cow, What say ye to that?" The animals answered "Duks,"
At last, when it grew dark, she saw the little light, and came to the house in the wood. She asked prettily if she might stay there for the night, and the man with the white beard asked his beasts again: Pretty cock, Pretty hen, And you, pretty brindled cow, What do you say now? 'Duks, they said.
Soon the cock and hen began to tuck their heads under their wings, and the brindled cow blinked its eyes, so the maiden said, 'Shall we not go to rest now? Pretty cock, Pretty hen, And you, pretty brindled cow, What do you say now? The animals said, 'Duks: You have eaten with us, You have drunk with us, You have tended us right, So we wish you good night.
We did shoot sometime and killed some Duks, which made one of my fellow travellers go no further.

She begged quite prettily to be allowed to spend the night there, and the man with the white beard once more asked his animals, "Pretty little hen, Pretty little cock, And beautiful brindled cow, What say ye to that?" "Duks," said they.

The maiden wandered about the wood till nightfall, when she came in the same way to the old man's house, and asked for food and a night's lodging. The man with the white hair again asked the beasts: Pretty cock, Pretty hen, And you, pretty brindled cow, What do you say now? The beasts answered, 'Duks, and everything happened as on the former day.
