Then the third cock crew, and up got the youngest daughter, and ran to the stable after her sisters.
‘Take care! don’t come here!’ they cried, but she did not understand, and she thought—
‘Why, if they are there, I can go too!’
But as soon as she touched her sisters, there she was, as fast as could be to the golden goose!
A quarter of an hour later Johnny wakened, and stretched himself, and shook some of the straw out of his hair, and then took his goose under his arm, and off he went, never noticing the girls, whom he had not left behind him.

They tried to stop him, but Johnny thought they wanted to rob him of his goose, and he ran, and they ran, and they all ran as fast as their legs would carry them.
When they were out of the village, the girls were also out of breath, and they entreated Johnny to stop. So he said he would stop if they would show him the right road, and the sun was up by the time they reached the next village.
