Never-ending hill

In The Fountain of Fair Fortune, the three sisters and their knight encounter a hill that is enchanted to be endless. This is the second obstacle in the sister's journey, preceded by the Gigantic White Worm and succeeded by the un-crossable stream. At the foot of the hill, they read a sign that says "Pay me the fruits of your labors."

Despite his attempt to donate his only coin, the knight does not prevail in his efforts. When Altheda begins to work hard and encourage the others to do so, however, her sweat hits the ground and allows them to finally press onward.
