It happened one day that they were walking together in the orchard, when a shepherd was driving his flock up the mountain beyond.

The maiden saw a little snow-white lamb frolicking gaily, and longed for it.

Weigand vaults over the railings, overtakes the shepherd, and offers him two gold bracelets for the lamb.

But the shepherd will not part with it, and scarcely listens to the knight, going quietly the while up the mountain-side, with Weigand close upon him.

At last Weigand loses patience.
