lives, dear son. We have not heard of him since you were christened and we don't know anything about him, or whether he is alive at all.' And I wanted to see my godfather, so I am going to find him."
"I am your godfather" the stranger said.
The boy rejoiced and gave him the Easter greeting.
"Where are you going to, godfather?
If you are going in our direction come in to us, or if you are going home, may I come with you?"
And the stranger said, "I have no time to come to you now, because I have some business in the villages. I shall not be home until to-morrow, then you can come to me if you like."
"But how shall I find you, godfather?"
"Walk straight towards the east until you come to a wood in the midst of which you will find a clearing. Sit down to rest in that clearing and look about you to see what is happening. When you come out of the wood you will see a garden and in the garden is a house with a golden roof.
