"My poor Teenchy Duck! You do not seem to be very happy."
"I should think not!" exclaimed Teenchy Duck.
"What can the matter be?" the Ladder asked.
Teenchy Duck then told her story over again.
"I am not doing anything at present," said the Ladder, "shall I go with you?"
"Yes," said Teenchy Duck.
"But how can I go, I who never walk?" inquired the Ladder.
"Why, get into my satchel," said Teenchy Duck, "and I'll carry you the best I know how."
The Ladder was soon in the satchel with Brother Fox and Brother Wolf, and Teenchy Duck went on her way, following the tracks of the Prince of the Seven Golden Cows, and always crying:
"Quack! quack! Give me back my beautiful money!"
