Now the people of Lintz planned to attack and capture the city of Andernach.
They called their wisest men together to see how the attack should be made.
Many plans were talked over.
At length an old man said, "Men of Lintz, you know that the men of Andernach are lazy. They like to lie late in their beds. If we attack the city at sunrise, we shall capture it before they can get their eyes open."
This plan seemed wise to the people of Lintz, and in army was soon ready to march against the city of Andernach.
One dark night the army crept softly toward the walls of the sleeping city.
THE BAKER BOYS AND THE BEES—II
The only people who rose early in Andernach were the bakers. They had to have fresh bread ready for breakfast.
After their work was done the bakers used to have a morning nap, but the baker boys had to stay awake and watch the loaves of bread.
Two of these boys, named Hans and Fritz, were fast friends and were always together.
