Feeling Cold

There was a chilly wind blowing, and she shivered. She had become cold overnight while she slept, and started to think that perhaps her precipitate flight from the building where she had found herself had been a mistake. Wearing only a black see-through nightie, [5193] she might easily fall victim to hypothermia. She had better start walking, not only in the hope of finding some shelter but because the exercise would help to keep her a bit warmer.

Before long she stumbled across a track leading through the forest. Choosing a direction at random, she followed it.

After only a few minutes, ahe heard someone - or something - approaching. The track bent sharply not far ahead, so at first she could not see what it was. But then it rounded the bend and came into view.

1. It was a knight on horseback. "Princess!" he cried in astonishment when he saw her. "What are you doing out here in the forest? Climb up behind me, and I will take you back to the castle."
2. It was a bear.
3. It was seven dwarves, walking in single file.
