"There is my husband," she said. "When he goes out to sea he takes the form of a whale. When he comes ashore he will become a man." The prince was frightened, and begged his sister to hide him; but she told him that her husband would do him no harm. Soon he saw coming toward them from the shore a fine look¬ ing man, who called him brother-in-law, and gave him a cordial welcome. The prince stayed with his sister several days, and then he said he must start off in search of his second sister. His brother of¬ fered him money, but he said he had no need of money. When the time came for him to go, the brother walked with him; and as he said good¬ bye, he put into the prince's hand a fish-scale. "If you ever need me," he said, "heat this fish-scale, and I will at once come to your as¬ sistance." The prince took the fish-scale and started upon his journey. When no one could see him, he put on the magical coat that would make him in¬ visible, and the shoes of swiftness. "Take me to the home of my second sister," he commanded the shoes of swiftness.
