I know! They must have been very nice people. [Kind of like the people here, she thinks.]

Anyway, the daughter goes to the East Wind to ask him if he knows the way to the castle. He does not, so the East Wind takes her to the West Wind, who also does not know the way. The West Wind takes her to the South Wind, who doesn't know the way, either. Finally, the South Wind takes her to the North Wind, who tells her he remembers once blowing a leaf to the castle east of the sun and west of the moon. He knows it will be an arduous journey, but he agrees to take her there. And so he does.
