As soon as he caught sight of Hilda he shouted out to her: 'Get down on all-fours this instant! How dare you come into my kingdom walking upright? Hilda was a good deal frightened at the way the King spoke; but she answered resolutely, 'Your Majesty, I walked upright because there was no time to lose, and I have come to ask you for the Golden Ivy-seed.
'I want to ask him to tell me where the Golden Ivy-seed is, Hilda replied. 'He ploughs in the emerald field on the other side of the mountain of amethyst, said the Gnome; 'but, unless you can go on all-fours and turn somersaults better than you seem able to do, you will never get on in this country.
On hearing this the young prince and princess were greatly surprised, and looked about for the horses on which they were to ride. But behold! the Golden Ivy-seed, watered with the Diamond Waterdrop, was already growing and sprouting with marvellous vigour and rapidity.
