Our lad begins, and he goes on, and on, and on. He meets an old woman, who says to him:
“Where are you going to, lad?”
“To such a forest, to fatten these pigs.”
The woman says to him:
“If you are not a fool, you will not go there. That horrible Tartaro will eat you.”
This woman was carrying a basket of walnuts on her head, and he said to her:
“If you will give me two of these walnuts I will beat the Tartaro.”
She willingly gives them to him, and he goes on, and on, and on. He meets another old woman, who was winding thread. She says to him:
“Where are you going, lad?”
“To such a forest.”
