East of the Sun and West of the Moon
Who takes the young girl to the West Wind?
Who takes the young girl to the West Wind?
The East Wind carries the young woman to see his brother.... the West Wind.
She rode many weary days, before she got to the east wind's house, but at last she did reach it, and she asked the east wind if he could tell her the way to the prince who lived east of the sun and west of the moon. Yes, the east wind had often heard tell of it, the prince and the castle, but he didn't know the way there, for he had never blown so far.
"But, if you want, I'll go with you to my brother the west wind. Maybe he knows, for he's much stronger. If you will just get on my back I'll carry you there."
