Rushing toward the lovely vision, he put out his arms at that spot where he had seen her, but only to embrace empty air. Then he remembered that love is blind. So he rubbed his eyes, to see if he could discern anything. RUSHING TOWARD THE LOVELY VISION HE PUT OUT HIS ARMS AT THAT SPOT WHERE HE HAD SEEN HER BUT ONLY TO EMBRACE EMPTY AIR THEN HE REMEMBERED THAT LOVE IS BLIND SO HE RUBBED HIS EYES TO SEE IF HE COULD DISCERN ANYTHING
e because of this failing. Now there was once a pretty nymph, who lived in the Red Lake, to which a young and handsome farmer used to come to catch fish. One misty day, when the lad could see only a few feet before him, a wind cleared the air and blew away the fog. Then he saw near him a little old man, standing on a ladder. He was hard at work in putting a thatched roof on a hut which he had built. A few minutes later, as the mist rose and the breezes blew, the farmer could see no house, but only the ripplings of water on the lake's surface. Although he went fishing often, he never again saw anything unusual, during the whole summer. On one hot day in the early autumn, while he stopped to let his horse drink, he looked and saw a very lovely face on the water. Wondering to whom it might belong, there rose up before him the head and shoulders of a most beautiful woman. She was so pretty that he had two tumbles. He fell off his horse and he fell in love with her at one and the same time. ONE OF THESE CAME TROUBLE BECAUSE OF THIS FAILING NOW THERE WAS ONCE A PRETTY NYMPH WHO LIVED IN THE RED LAKE TO WHICH A YOUNG AND HANDSOME FARMER USED TO COME TO CATCH FISH ONE MISTY DAY WHEN THE LAD COULD SEE ONLY A FEW FEET BEFORE HIM A WIND CLEARED THE AIR AND BLEW AWAY THE FOG THEN HE SAW NEAR HIM A LITTLE OLD MAN STANDING ON A LADDER HE WAS HARD AT WORK IN PUTTING A THATCHED ROOF ON A HUT WHICH HE HAD BUILT A FEW MINUTES LATER AS THE MIST ROSE AND THE BREEZES BLEW THE FARMER COULD SEE NO HOUSE BUT ONLY THE RIPPLINGS OF WATER ON THE LAKE'S SURFACE ALTHOUGH HE WENT FISHING OFTEN HE NEVER AGAIN SAW ANYTHING UNUSUAL DURING THE WHOLE SUMMER ON ONE HOT DAY IN THE EARLY AUTUMN WHILE HE STOPPED TO LET HIS HORSE DRINK HE LOOKED AND SAW A VERY LOVELY FACE ON THE WATER WONDERING TO WHOM IT MIGHT BELONG THERE ROSE UP BEFORE HIM THE HEAD AND SHOULDERS OF A MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN SHE WAS SO PRETTY THAT HE HAD TWO TUMBLES HE FELL OFF HIS HORSE AND HE FELL IN LOVE WITH HER AT ONE AND THE SAME TIME
