When he entered the forest he met a bit gray-haired previous man who bade him good-day, and mentioned, do give me a chunk of cake out of your pocket, and let me have a draught of your wine, I'm so hungry and thirsty. However the intelligent son answered, if I provide you with my cake and wine, I shall have none for myself, be off with you, and he left the little man standing and went on.

But when he started to hew down a tree, it was not long earlier than he made a false stroke, and the axe reduce him in the arm, in order that he needed to go dwelling and have it sure up. And this was the little grey man's doing.

After this the second son went into the forest, and his mom gave him, like the eldest, a cake and a bottle of wine.

However the second son, too, mentioned sensibly enough, what I give you may be taken away from myself, be off, and he left the little man standing and went on. His punishment, however, was not delayed, when he had made just a few blows at the tree he struck himself in the leg, so that he had to be carried home.

Then Dummling mentioned, father, do let me go and minimize wood. The daddy answered, your brothers have hurt themselves with it, go away it alone, you don't understand something about it. But Dummling begged so long that finally he said, simply go then, you will get wiser by hurting yourself. His mother gave him a cake made with water and baked in the cinders, and with it a bottle of bitter beer.

When he got here to the forest the little previous grey man met him likewise, and greeting him, stated, give me a bit of your cake and a drink out of your bottle, I am so hungry and thirsty.

Dummling answered, I've solely cinder-cake and sour beer, if that pleases you, we'll sit down and eat. So they sat down, and when Dummling pulled out his cinder-cake, it was a nice sweet cake, and the bitter beer had turn into good wine. So they ate and drank, and after that the little man mentioned, since you have a great heart, and are prepared to divide what you could have, I will give you good luck. There

stands an outdated tree, reduce it down, and you'll find something at the roots. Then the little man took go away of him.

Dummling went and cut down the tree, and when it fell there was a goose sitting in the roots with feathers of pure gold. He lifted her up, and taking her with him, went to an inn where he thought he would stay the night. Now the host had three daughters, who noticed the goose and have been curious to know what such a beautiful hen might be, and would have appreciated to have one of its golden feathers.

The eldest thought, I shall quickly discover a possibility of pulling out a feather, and as soon as Dummling had gone out she seized the goose by the wing, however her finger and hand remained sticking quick to it.

The second came soon afterwards, considering only of how she would possibly get a feather for herself, but she had scarcely touched her sister than she was held fast.

At last the third also got here with the like intent, and the others screamed out, maintain away, for goodness, sake maintain away. However she didn't perceive why she was to maintain away. The others are there, she thought, I could as well be there too, and ran to them, however as soon as she had touched her sister, she remained sticking fast to her. So they had to spend the night with the goose.

The subsequent morning Dummling took the goose beneath his arm and set out, with out troubling himself in regards to the three girls who have been hanging on to it. They had been obliged to run after him regularly, now left, now proper, wherever his legs took him.

In the course of the fields the parson met them, and when he noticed the procession he mentioned, for shame, you good-for-nothing women, why are you operating across the fields after this younger man. Is that seemly?

At the identical time he seized the youngest by the hand so as to pull her away, but as quickly as he touched her he likewise stuck fast, and was himself obliged to run behind.

Earlier than long the sexton got here by and noticed his grasp, the parson, working behind three girls. He was astonished at this and known as out, hello, your reverence, whither away so quickly. Don't forget that we have a christening to-day, and working after him he took him by the sleeve, however was also held fast to it. While the 5 had been trotting thus one behind the opposite, two laborers got here with their hoes from the fields, the parson called out to them and begged that they'd set him and the sexton free. However they had scarcely touched the sexton once they have been held fast, and now there were seven of them running behind Dummling and the goose.

Soon afterwards he got here to a city, where a king dominated who had a daughter who was so serious that nobody might make her laugh. So he had put forth a decree that whosoever should have the ability to make her chuckle should marry her. When Dummling heard this, he went with his goose and all her train earlier than the king's daughter, and as quickly as she noticed the seven people operating on and on, one behind the other, she

began to snort quite loudly, and as if she would by no means stop.

Thereupon Dummling asked to have her for his wife, however the king did not just like the son-in-law, and made all manner of excuses and stated he must first produce a man who might drink a cellarful of wine.

Dummling thought of the little gray man, who might definitely help him, so he went into the forest, and in the identical place where he had felled the tree, he noticed a man sitting, who had a really sorrowful face.

Dummling asked him what he was taking to coronary heart so sorely, and he answered, I've such a great thirst and can't quench it, cold water I cannot stand, a barrel of wine I've just emptied, however that to me is sort of a drop on a scorching stone.

There, I can help you, mentioned Dummling, simply come with me and also you shall be satisfied.

He led him into the king's cellar, and the person bent over the huge barrels, and drank and drank till his loins hurt, and earlier than the day was out he had emptied all of the barrels. Then Dummling asked as soon as extra for his bride, however the king was vexed that such an unpleasant fellow, whom everyone called Dummling, should take away his daughter, and he made a brand new condition, he must first discover a man who could eat a whole

mountain of bread. Dummling did not suppose lengthy, but went straight into the forest, the place in the same place there sat a person who was tying up his physique with a strap, and making an terrible face, and saying, I've eaten an entire ovenful of rolls, however what good is that when one has such a hunger as I. My stomach remains empty, and I need to tie myself up if I am not to die of hunger.

At this Dummling was glad, and stated, stand up and include me, you shall eat yourself full. He led him to the king's palace, where all of the flour in the entire kingdom was collected, and from it he brought on a huge mountain of bread to be baked. The man from the forest stood earlier than it, began to eat, and by the top of sooner or later the whole mountain had vanished. Then Dummling for the third time asked for his bride, but the king once more sought a approach out, and ordered a ship which might sail on land and on water. As soon as you come sailing back in it, said he, you shall have my daughter for wife.

Dummling went straight into the forest, and there sat the little gray man to whom he had given his cake. When he heard what Dummling wanted, he said, since you have given me to eat and to drink, I gives you the ship, and I do all this because you as soon as had been type to me. Then he gave him the ship which could sail on land and water, and when the king noticed that, he could no longer prevent him from having his daughter.
