here for the night, and he wants to ask you whether you will be kind
enough to take him to his bride's castle."
The Wind answered: "It is very far from here, and I must ask the
Lord how strongly I am to blow, if we are to get there. I was there
yesterday; they are going to celebrate a wedding there, and they have
been drying some shirts ready for it, and I have been helping them."
The Wind went to ask the Lord; and when he came back, he said to John:
"I can blow strongly enough, but I don't know whether you will be
able to keep step with me."
