They could be freed only by a magic ring worn by a gallant knight who did not know about their danger. Anne stopped in the middle of her story, keeping mouse-still so as not to frighten a robin beside the hedge. She gave a start when a voice near her piped out, "Tell on, little girl, tell on; I like that story." Anne looked around. No one was in sight. "If you don't tell on, I'll cry.
