When
she had entered, she met a dwarf who said, »My child, what are you looking
for?«—»I am looking for my brothers, the Seven Ravens,« she answered. The dwarf
said: »My masters, the Ravens, are not at home, but if you like to wait until
they come, please come in.« Thereupon the dwarf brought in the Ravens' supper,
on seven little plates, and in seven little cups, and the little sister ate a
crumb or two from each of the little plates and took a sip from each of the
little cups, but she let the ring she had brought with her fall into the last
little cup.
