one corner a door leading into the mountain； and at the foot of
the mountain was a high rock on which was fixed an iron ring with
a cord attached。 The Prince promptly guessed that the cord was
used to chain the Princess； and drew his sword and cut it。 In a
moment he felt the Princess's hand in his； for she had always
kept her magic pebble in her mouth； in spite of the prayers and
entreaties of the Prince of the Air to make herself visible。
So hand in hand the invisible Prince and Rosalie crossed the
mountain； but as the Princess had no power of living under water；
she could not pass the Golden Fountain。 Speechless and invisible
they clung together on the brink； trembling at the frightful
tempest the Prince of the Air had raised in his fury。 The storm
had already lasted many days when tremendous heat began to make
itself felt。 The lightning flashed； the thunder rattled； fire
bolts fell from heaven； burning up the forests and even the
fields of corn。 In one instant the very streams were dried up；
and the Prince； seizing his opportunity； carried the Princess
over the Golden Fountain。
It took them a long time still to reach the Golden Isle； but at
last they got there； and we may be quite sure they never wanted
to leave it any more。
