Then said Bird-Found, “Neither now, nor ever.”
Said Lina, “Be a fishpond, and I will be the duck upon it.”
The cook, however, came up to them, and when she saw the pond she lay down by it, and was about to drink it up, when she fell into the water, and there the old Witch had to drown.
Then the children went home together, and were heartily delighted, and if they are not dead, they are living still.
THE GOLDEN GOOSE
There was a man who had three sons, the youngest of whom was called Dunderhead, and was despised, mocked, and put down on every occasion.
It happened, that the eldest wanted to go into the forest to hew wood. Before he went his mother gave him a beautiful sweet cake and a bottle of wine, that he might not suffer from hunger or thirst.
