then dullhead fell to at once to hew down the tree , and when it fell he found amongst its roots a goose , whose feathers were all of pure gold . he lifted it out , carried it off , and took it with him to an inn where he meant to spend the night . now the landlord of the inn had three daughters , and when they saw the goose they were filled with curiosity as to what this wonderful bird could be , and each longed to have one of its golden feathers . the eldest thought to herself : ' no doubt i shall soon find a good opportunity to pluck out one of its feathers , ' and the first time dullhead happened to leave the room she caught hold of the goose by its wing . but , lo and behold ! her fingers seemed to stick fast to the goose , and she could not take her hand away . soon after the second daughter came in , and thought to pluck a golden feather for herself too ; but hardly had she touched her sister than she stuck fast as well . at last the third sister came with the same intentions , but the other two cried out : ' keep off ! for heaven 's sake , keep off ! ' the younger sister could not imagine why she was to keep off , and thought to herself : ' if they are both there , why should not i be there too ? ' so she sprang to them ; but no sooner had she touched one of them than she stuck fast to her . so they all three had to spend the night with the goose . 
why did all three daughters have to spend the night with the goose ?
they were all stuck to the goose .
they were stuck to the goose .
