" and with that she disappeared round the back of the pig - sty , and the poor mother fell down in a dead faint beside the stone . all that day , and all the next , she did nothing but sit in her kitchen and cry , and hug her baby tighter in her arms ; but on the day before that on which the fairy said that she was coming back , she felt as if she must get a little breath of fresh air , so she went for a walk in the fir wood behind the house .
