"Go bring me hither the big casket," and the little frog hopped away, and came back dragging a large box.
Then the mother Frog took a key that hung around her neck on a chain, and opened the box and drew forth the most beautiful carpet that was ever seen.
Dummling was delighted with it, and thanking her very heartily, he hurried up the steps, eager to take it to the palace.
Meanwhile, the two brothers, never thinking that Dummling was clever enough to find any sort of carpet at all, said to each other:
"Let us buy the shawl of the first peasant woman we meet. That should be good enough to win us the kingdom."
So they bought a common old shawl at the first opportunity, and took it home to the palace, arriving just at the same moment as Dummling.
The King was astonished when the carpets were spread out before him and he saw the lovely thing Dummling had brought.
