"And the next?" almost gasped the widow. "If you can guess my name, you will doubly win; for then, I shall give you the gold and you can keep your boy." AND THE NEXT ALMOST GASPED THE WIDOW IF YOU CAN GUESS MY NAME YOU WILL DOUBLY WIN FOR THEN I SHALL GIVE YOU THE GOLD AND YOU CAN KEEP YOUR BOY
. Name it," she said cheerfully to her visitor. But only a moment more, and all her fears returned at the thought that the visitor might ask for her boy. The old lady spoke again and said: "I want to help you all I can, but what I came here for is to get the little boy in the cradle." The widow now saw that the old woman was a fairy, and that if her visitor got hold of her son, she would never see her child again. So she begged piteously of the old lady, to take anything and everything, except her one child. "No, I want that boy, and, if you want the gold, you must let me take him." "Is there anything else that I can do for you, so that I may get the money?" asked the widow. "Well, I'll make it easier for you. There are two things I must tell you to cheer you." "What are they?" asked the widow, eagerly. "One is, that by our fairy law, I cannot take your boy, until three days have passed. Then, I shall come again, and you shall have the gold; but only on the one condition I have stated.  COULD POSSIBLY WANT YOU CAN HAVE ANYTHING I HAVE NAME IT SHE SAID CHEERFULLY TO HER VISITOR BUT ONLY A MOMENT MORE AND ALL HER FEARS RETURNED AT THE THOUGHT THAT THE VISITOR MIGHT ASK FOR HER BOY THE OLD LADY SPOKE AGAIN AND SAID I WANT TO HELP YOU ALL I CAN BUT WHAT I CAME HERE FOR IS TO GET THE LITTLE BOY IN THE CRADLE THE WIDOW NOW SAW THAT THE OLD WOMAN WAS A FAIRY AND THAT IF HER VISITOR GOT HOLD OF HER SON SHE WOULD NEVER SEE HER CHILD AGAIN SO SHE BEGGED PITEOUSLY OF THE OLD LADY TO TAKE ANYTHING IN EVERYTHING EXCEPT HER ONE CHILD NO I WANT THAT BOY AND IF YOU WANT THE GOLD YOU MUST LET ME TAKE HIM IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT I CAN DO FOR YOU SO THAT I MAY GET THE MONEY ASKED THE WIDOW WELL I'LL MAKE IT EASIER FOR YOU THERE ARE TWO THINGS I MUST TELL YOU TO CHEER YOU WHAT ARE THEY ASKED THE WIDOW EAGERLY ONE IS THAT BY OUR FAIRY LAW I CANNOT TAKE YOUR BOY UNTIL THREE DAYS HAVE PASSED THEN I SHALL COME AGAIN AND YOU SHALL HAVE THE GOLD BUT ONLY ON THE ONE CONDITION I HAVE STATED
