The Fish and the Ring
Once upon a time, there was a mighty Baron in the North Country who was a great magician and knew everything that would come to pass.[17] So one day, when his little boy was four years old, he looked into the Book of Fate[18] to see what would happen to him.

One day it happened that the Baron went out hunting[22] with some companions along the banks of the river, and stopped at the fisherman’s hut to get a drink, and the girl came out to give it to them. They all noticed her beauty, and one of them said to the Baron, “You can
