“On the gate, to be sure,” said the boy; “I have only to say—
“Gate, gate, let me go
Far down to the earth below.”
And as he said the words, down he went.
“Let us also try,” said Anna.
“Wall, wall, let us go
Far down to the earth below.”
Then down went the wall to the ground, and Peter and Anna slid off, and stood staring at the boy, who was still playing on his pipe.
“What do you want most?” asked the boy. “My pipe will bring anything I ask for.”
“A silk frock with a flounce and a sash, and a bonnet with blue ribbons,” said Anna, who was fond of fine clothes.
