II. Translate into German :—
One of the knights rode one day too far from the camp, and
lost his way. He got (translate came) into a great wood, and
feared he might meet a band of enemies. At last he saw a young
herdsman (JJirt) who sat under a tree; and he said, “ My boy,
“ I will give thee this horse, if thou wilt lead me back to my
“ friends.” The lad replied, “ It is too late now. Come home
“ with me, and I will go with you as your guide to-morrow
“ morning.” The knight went with the boy, and slept the
whole night in his father’s hut. Next day he was led back to
the camp. The youth, whose name was Godwin, remained with
him. He was clever and brave, and rose (fteigen) afterwards to
high rank at the Danish court.
