"Where is the Dark Tower?" asked Childe Rowland.
"I do not know," said the man. "Ask the man that keeps the cows."
Childe Rowland thought of what the wise man had told him.
He pulled out his father's sword, and off went the man's head.
Then Childe Rowland went on and on, till he came to some cows with eyes of fire.
The man who kept the cows looked at Childe Rowland.
"Where is the Dark Tower?" asked Childe Rowland.
"I cannot tell. Ask the woman that keeps the hens," said the man.
Childe Rowland took the sword, and off went the man's head.
