- [101](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg2435/14/101/) — Hastily putting out the fire which burned brightly at the back, and bidding his mother come in and keep very still, the prince began to pace up and down, listening for the return of the robbers.
- [102](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg2435/14/102/) — But he was very sleepy, and in spite of all his efforts he felt he could not keep awake much longer, when he heard the sound of the robbers returning, shouting and singing as they marched along.
- [103](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg2435/14/103/) — Soon the singing ceased, and straining his ears he heard them discussing anxiously what had become of their cave, and why they could not see the fire as usual.
- [104](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg2435/14/104/) — “This must be the place,” said a voice, which the prince took to be that of the captain.
- [105](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg2435/14/105/) — “Yes, I feel the ditch before the entrance.
- [106](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg2435/14/106/) — Someone forgot to pile up the fire before we left and it has burnt itself out!
- [107](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg2435/14/107/) — But it is all right.
- [108](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg2435/14/108/) — Let every man jump across, and as he does so cry out ‘Hop!
- [109](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg2435/14/109/) — I am here.’
- [110](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg2435/14/110/) — I will go last.
- [111](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg2435/14/111/) — Now begin.”
