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.
