The Little Man took him by the hand, and led him through an underground passage; but the Soldier did not forget to take the Blue Light with him.
On the way he showed the Soldier all the treasures the Witch had amassed there, and he took as much gold as he could carry.
When they reached the top he said to the Little Man: ‘Now go, bind the Witch and take her before the Judge.’
Before long she came by riding at a furious pace on a tom cat, and screaming at the top of her voice.
The Little Man soon after appeared, and said: ‘Everything is done as you commanded, and the Witch hangs on the gallows. What further orders have you, Master?’
‘Nothing at this moment,’ answered the Soldier. ‘You can go home; only be at hand when I call.’
‘You only have to light your pipe at the Blue Light, and I will be there,’ said the Little Man, and then he vanished.
The Soldier went back to the town that he had left, and ordered some new clothes, then he went to the best inn and told the landlord to give him the best rooms.
