On each side of the cave was a heavy door studded with iron himself, laying his trap and his shovel behind one of the kegs. As he reached the first door and put his hand on it he heard someone is what the voice sang: "In field and meadow the grasses grow; Out in the world there is much to see, I plumed myself and I sang a song: And set me free? And set me free?" The song ended and Teddy opened the door. Within was another room that looked almost like the first, only there sitting. As soon as Teddy opened the door she looked over her shoulder, and when hands. "Oh!" she cried, "have you come to rescue me?" "Who are you?" asked Teddy, wondering at her. She was very beautiful. Her eyes were as bright and black as a sloe, her golden feathers over her shoulders. When Teddy spoke she answered him, "I am Avis, the Bird-maiden." "And how did you come here?" asked Teddy. Then the Bird-maiden told him how she used to live in a golden castle morning in a little marble bath-tub, and had nothing to do all day.
