-“Your voice brings me to my senses, your song makes me dizzy, lift up your tinkling call!” the Woodcutter would shout.
However, Princess Tinkling Call would answer him from the cave:
“On this side of the black fields,
Under the mushroom of death cap,
Beyond the valleys and the hills,
In a cave, in its depth,
In a palace with frosty flowers,
Icicles sing and play
In a glacial pond
Six little salmons dance.
Eeney, meeney, miney moe,
Knock-knock, I will not go!”
The woodcutter walked and walked, but did not come upon the tinkling call. He lay down next to the white collar of the death cap mushroom, pulled out his knapsack and started eating his food heartily. He threw the remains from the bread in the hole underneath the mushroom and they fell right next to King Iciclels palace, in the glacial pond.
The woodcutter searched for the tinkling call a little while longer and disappointed, set out on his way.
The princess watched with sadness the woodcutterls food floating in the pond. The blind salmons could hardly push the bread crumbs to the side of the pond. Tinkling Call gathered the crumbs then sat on the bank of the pond and sang her little song:
-“On this side of the black fields,
Under the mushroom of death cap,
Beyond the valleys and the hills,
In a cave, in its depth,”
Hardly had she begun to sing then suddenly, tramp-tramp, a horrible trampling disturbed the princess and the blind salmonsl play. An army of soldiers riding on big horses had passed nearby and the tinkling voice allured them as well.
