She brought three nuts out of her pocket, and told them that in these nuts the most beautiful, the loveliest things were hidden; for they were wishing-nuts. Ib looked at her, and she seemed so friendly, that he plucked up courage and asked her if she would give him the nuts; and the woman gave them to him, and gathered some more for herself, a whole pocketful, from the nut bush.
And Ib and Christine looked at the wishing-nuts with great eyes. "Is there a carriage with a pair of horses in this nut?" he asked. "Yes, there's a golden carriage with two horses," answered the woman. "Then give me the nut," said little Christine. And Ib gave it to her, and the strange woman tied it in her pocket-handkerchief for her.
Yes, it seemed right they were wishing-nuts, and in one of them lay a golden carriage with two horses, and in the other very elegant clothes; all those luxuries would now be Christine's in the capital. Her part had thus come true. And to him, Ib, the nut had offered only black earth. The gipsy-woman had said, this was "the best of all for him." Yes, it was right, that also was coming true.
