there was a man in it long ago , and long ago it was , and if he was in it then he would not be in it now . he was married , and his wife was lost ( i.e. , died ) , and he had only one son by the first wife . then he married the second wife . this second wife had not much regard for the son , and he was obliged to go out on the mountain , far from the house , to take care of the cattle . there was a bracket ( speckled ) bull amongst the cows out on the mountain , and of a day that there was great hunger on the lad , the bracket bull heard him complaining and wringing his two hands . he moved over to him and said to him , " you are hungry , but take the horn off me and lay it on the ground . put your hand into the place where the horn was and you will find food . " when he heard that he went over to the bull , took hold of the horn , twisted it , and it came away with him in his hand . he laid it on the ground , put in his hand , and drew out food and drink and a table - cloth . he spread the table - cloth on the ground , set the food and drink on it , and then he ate and drank his enough . when he had his enough eaten and drunk , he put the table - cloth back again , and left the horn back in the place where it was before . when he came home that evening he did not eat a bit of his supper , and his stepmother said to herself that he ( must have ) got something to eat out on the mountain since he was not eating any of his supper . when he went out with his cattle the next day his stepmother sent her own daughter out after him , and told her to be watching him till she should see where he was getting the food . the daughter went and put herself in hiding , and she was watching him until the heat of the day came . but when the middle of the day was come she heard every music more excellent than another , and she was put to sleep by that truly melodious music . the bull came then , and the lad twisted the horn off him and drew out the table - cloth , the food , and the drink , and ate and drunk his enough . he put back the horn again then . the music was stopped and the daughter woke up , and was watching him until the evening came , and he drove the cows home then . the mother asked her did she see anything in the field , and she said that she did not . the lad did not eat two bites of his supper , and there was wonder on the stepmother . the next day when he drove out the cows the stepmother told the second daughter to follow him , and to be watching him till she would see where he was getting things to eat . the daughter followed him and put herself in hiding , but when the heat of the day came the music began and she fell asleep . the lad took the horn off the bull , drew out the table - cloth , the food , and drink , ate and drank his enough , and put back the horn again . the girl woke then , and was watching him until the evening . when the evening came he drove the cows home , and he was not able to eat his supper any more than the two evenings before . the stepmother asked the daughter did she see anything , and she said she did not . there was wonder on the stepmother .

there was a trembling in the poor creature 's hand , and he was not able to cut a piece at all off the bull , after his feeding him for so long , and after the kindness he had got from him . the bracket bull spoke again , and told him to cut the strip off him on the instant , and that it would assist him as long as he would be alive . he cut a strip off the back then , and another strip off the belly , and he went away . there was plenty of trouble and of grief on him , going of him , and he ought to have that on him too , and he departing without any knowledge of where he was making for , or where he would go . a gentleman met him on the road , and asked him where he was going . the lad said that he did not himself know where he was going , but that he was going looking for work . " what are you able to do ? " says the gentleman . " i 'm as good a herd as ever you saw , but i 'll not tell you a lie -- i can do nothing but herding ; but , indeed , i 'll do that as well as any man that ever you saw . " " it 's you i want , " says the gentleman . " there are three giants up by my land , on the one mearing with me , and anything that will go in on their land they will keep it , and i can not take it off them again . that 's all they 're asking -- my cattle to go in across the mearing to them . " " never mind them . i 'll go bail that i 'll take good heed of them , and that i 'll not let anything in to them . "

the gentleman brought him home then , and he went herding for him . when the grass was getting scarce , he was driving the cows further out . there was a big stone wall between the land of the giants and his master 's land . there was fine grass on the other side of the wall . when he saw that , he threw down a gap in the wall and let in the pigs and the cows . he went up into a tree then , and was throwing down apples and all sorts ( of fruit ) to the pigs . a giant came out , and when he saw the lad up on the tree throwing down the apples to the pigs , the head rose on him ( i.e. , he got furious ) . he came to the tree . " get down out of that , " says he . " i think you big for one bite and small for two bites ; come down till i draw you under my long cold teeth . " " arrah , take yourself easy , " says the boy ; " perhaps it 's too quick i 'd come down to you . " " i wo n't be talking to you any longer , " says the giant . he got a leverage on the tree and drew it up out of the roots . " go down , black thong , and squeeze that fellow , " says the lad , for he remembered the advice of the bracket bull . on the instant the black thong leaped out of his hand , and squeezed the giant so hard that the two eyes were going out on his head , for stronger was the power of the bull than the power of the giant . the giant was not able to put a stir out of himself , and he promised anything at all -- only to save his life for him . " anything at all you want , " says he to the lad , " you must get it from me . "

" try it on the three biggest trees that are in the wood , and you wo n't feel it in your hand going through them , " says the giant .

" if i were to get on the body again , " said the head , and it talking , " and the men of the world would n't get me off the trunk again . " " i 'll take good care myself of that , " says the lad . when he drove the cows home in the evening , they had that much milk that they had not half enough of vessels , and two coopers were obliged to make new vessels to hold the quantity of milk they had .

" you 're the best lad that ever i met , " says the gentleman , and he was thankful to him . the giants used to put -- each man of them -- a shout of him every evening . the people only heard two shouts that evening . " there 's some change in the caher[2 ] to - night , " said the gentleman , when he heard the two shouts . " oh , " says the lad , " i saw one of them going away by himself to - day , and he did not come home yet . " on the next day the lad drove out his cattle until he came to the big stone wall , and he threw a gap in it , and let the cattle into the same place . he went up into a tree and began throwing down the apples . the second giant came running , and said , " what 's the meaning of throwing my wall and letting in your cattle on my estate ? get down out of that at once . you killed my brother yesterday . " " go down , black thong , and bind that one , " says the lad . the thong squeezed him so that he was not able to put a stir out of himself , and he promised the lad anything at all -- only to spare his life . " i am asking nothing of you but the loan of the old sword that is under your bed . " " i 'll give you that , and welcome . " he went in , and brought out the sword with him . each man of them had a sword , and every sword better than another . " try that sword on the six biggest trees that are in the wood , and it will go through them without turning the edge . " " i do n't see any tree in the wood bigger or uglier than yourself , " says he , drawing the sword and whipping the head off him , so that he sent it seven furrows and seven ridges from the body . " oh , " said the head , " if i were to get going on the body again , and the men of the world would n't get me off it again . " " oh , i 'll take care of that myself , " says the boy . when he drove the cows home that night there was wonder on the people when they saw the quantity of milk they had . the gentleman said that there was another change in the caher that day again , as he did not hear but only one shout , but the lad said that he saw another one going away that day , and that it was likely that he did not come back yet . on the next day he went out , and drove the pigs and the cows up to the hall door , and was throwing down the apples to them . the third giant came out -- the eldest man of them -- and he was full mad after his two brothers being dead , and the teeth that were in his head were making a hand - stick for him . he told the boy to come down ; that he did not know what he would do to him after his having killed his two brothers . " come down , " says he , " till i draw you under my long , cold teeth " ; and it was on him the long , cold teeth were , and no lie . " go down , black thong , and bind that one till the eyes will be going out on his head with the power of the squeezing that you 'll give him . "

the black thong leaped from him , and it bound the giant until the two eyes were going out on his head with the squeezing and with the tightening it gave him , and the giant promised to give him anything at all ; " but spare my life , " says he . " i 'm only asking the loan of the old sword that 's under your bed , " said the lad . " have it , and welcome , " says the giant . he went in , and brought out the sword with him . " now , " says the giant , " strike the two ugliest stumps in the wood , and the sword will cut them without getting a bent edge . " " musha , then , by mary , " says the boy , " i do n't see any stump in the wood uglier than yourself , " and he struck him so that he sent his head seven furrows and seven ridges from the body . " ochone for ever ! " says the head . " if i were to get going on the body again , the men of the world -- they would n't get me off the body again . " " i 'll take care of that myself , " says the boy . when he came home that night the coopers were not able to make enough of vessels for them to hold the quantity of milk that the cows had , and the pigs were not able to eat with the quantity of apples that they had eaten before that . he was a while in that way herding the cows and everything that was in the castle , he had it . there was no one at all going near the castle , for there was fear on them .

there was a fiery dragon in that country , and he used to come every seven years , and unless there would be a young woman ready bound before him he would drive the sea through the land , and he would destroy the people . the day came when the dragon was to come , and the lad asked his master to let him go to the place where the dragon was coming . " what 's the business you have there ? " says the master . " there will be horsemen and coaches and great people there , and the crowds will be gathered together in it out of every place . the horses would rise up on top of you , and you would be crushed under their feet ; and it 's better for you to stop at home . " " i 'll stop , " said the lad . but when he got them all gone he went to the castle of the three giants , and he put a saddle on the best steed they had , and a fine suit on himself , and he took the first giant 's sword in his hand , and he went to where the dragon was . it was like a fair there , with the number of riders and coaches and horses and people that were gathered in it . there was a young lady bound to a post on the brink of the sea , and she waiting for the dragon to come to swallow her . it was the king 's daughter that was in it , for the dragon would not take any other woman . when the dragon came out of the sea the lad went against him , and they fought with one another , and were fighting till the evening , until the dragon was frothing at the mouth , and till the sea was red with its blood .

among the mountain pastures and valleys that lie in the centre of france there dwelt a mischievous kind of spirit . it was this spirit 's delight to play tricks on everybody , and particularly on the shepherds and the cowboys . they never knew when they were safe from him , as he could change himself into a man , woman or child , a stick , a goat , a ploughshare . indeed , there was only one thing whose shape he could not take , and that was a needle . at least , he could transform himself into a needle , but try as he might he never was able to imitate the hole . every woman would have found him out at once , and this he knew . now the hour oftenest chosen by this naughty sprite ( whom we will call puck ) for performing his pranks was about midnight . this was just when the shepherds and cowherds , tired out with their long day 's work , were sound asleep . then he would go into the cowsheds and unfasten the chains that fixed each beast in its own stall , and let them fall with a heavy clang to the ground . the noise was so loud that it was certain to awaken the cowboys , however fatigued they might be . they dragged themselves wearily to the stable to put back the chains . but no sooner had they returned to their beds than the same thing happened again , and so on till the morning . or perhaps puck would spend his night in plaiting together the manes and tails of two of the horses , so that it would take the grooms hours of labour to get them right in the morning . puck , hidden among the hay in the loft , would peep out to watch them , enjoying himself amazingly all the time .

one evening more than eighty years ago a man named william was passing along the bank of a stream when he noticed a sheep who was bleating loudly . william thought it must have strayed from the flock , and that he had better take it home with him till he could discover its owner . so he went up to where it was standing , and as it seemed so tired that it could hardly walk , he hoisted it on his shoulders and continued on his way . the sheep was pretty heavy , but the good man was merciful and staggered along as best he could under his load . ' it is not much further , ' he thought to himself as he reached an avenue of walnut trees , when suddenly a voice spoke out from over his head , and made him jump . ' where are you ? ' said the voice , and the sheep answered : ' here on the shoulders of a donkey . ' in another moment the sheep was standing on the ground and william was running towards home as fast as his legs would carry him . but as he went , a laugh , which yet was something of a bleat , rang in his ears . though he tried not to hear , the words reached him , ' oh , dear ! what fun i have had , to be sure ! '

puck was careful not always to play his tricks in the same place , but visited one village after another , so that everyone trembled lest he should be the next victim . after a bit he grew tired of cowboys and shepherds , and wondered if there was no one else to give him some sport . at length he was told of a young couple who were going to the nearest town to buy all that they needed for setting up house . quite certain that they would forget something which they could not do without , puck waited patiently till they were jogging along in their cart on their return journey . he changed himself into a fly in order to overhear their conversation . for a long time it was very dull -- all about their wedding day next month , and who were to be invited . this led the bride to her wedding dress , and she gave a little scream . ' just think ! oh ! how could i be so stupid ! i have forgotten to buy the different coloured reels of cotton to match my clothes ! ' ' dear , dear ! ' exclaimed the young man . ' that is unlucky . did n't you tell me that the dressmaker was coming in to - morrow ?

the bridegroom looked , and on one side of the road he saw a large ball of thread of all colours . all the colours , that is , of the dresses that were tied on to the back of the cart . ' well , that is a wonderful piece of good fortune , ' cried he , as he sprang out to get it . ' one would think a fairy had put it there on purpose . ' ' perhaps she has , ' laughed the girl . as she spoke she seemed to hear an echo of her laughter coming from the horse , but of course that was nonsense . the dressmaker was delighted with the thread that was given her . it matched the stuffs so perfectly , and never tied itself in knots , or broke perpetually , as most thread did . she finished her work much quicker than she expected and the bride said she was to be sure to come to the church and see her in her wedding dress . there was a great crowd assembled to witness the ceremony . the young people were immense favourites in the neighbourhood , and their parents were very rich . the doors were open , and the bride could be seen from afar , walking under the chestnut avenue .

in the middle of a great forest there lived a long time ago a charcoal - burner and his wife . they were both young and handsome and strong . when they got married , they thought work would never fail them . but bad times came , and they grew poorer and poorer . the nights in which they went hungry to bed became more and more frequent . now one evening the king of that country was hunting near the charcoal - burner 's hut . as he passed the door , he heard a sound of sobbing . being a good - natured man he stopped to listen , thinking that perhaps he might be able to give some help . ' were there ever two people so unhappy ! ' said a woman 's voice . ' here we are , ready to work like slaves the whole day long , and no work can we get . and it is all because of the curiosity of old mother eve ! if she had only been like me , who never want to know anything . we should all have been as happy as kings to - day , with plenty to eat , and warm clothes to wear . why-- ' but at this point a loud knock interrupted her lamentations .
|
they wanted plenty of food to eat .

' who is there ? ' asked she . ' i ! ' replied somebody . ' and who is " i " ? ' ' the king . let me in . ' full of surprise the woman jumped up and pulled the bar away from the door . as the king entered , he noticed that there was no furniture in the room at all , not even a chair . he pretended to be in too great a hurry to see anything around him , and only said ' you must not let me disturb you . i have no time to stay , but you seemed to be in trouble . tell me ; are you very unhappy ? ' ' oh , my lord , we can find no work and have eaten nothing for two days ! ' answered she . ' nothing remains for us but to die of hunger . ' ' no , no , you sha n't do that , ' cried the king , ' or if you do , it will be your own fault . you shall come with me into my palace . you will feel as if you were in paradise , i promise you . in return , i only ask one thing of you , that you shall obey my orders exactly .

' oh , nothing ; i did not feel inclined to talk , that was all ! ' she stopped , and added carelessly after a pause , ' do n't you ever wonder what is in that soup - tureen ? ' ' no , never , ' replied the man . ' it is no affair of ours , ' and the conversation dropped once more . as time went on , the woman spoke less and less , and seemed so wretched that her husband grew quite frightened about her . as to her food , she refused one thing after another . ' my dear wife , ' said the man at last , ' you really must eat something . what in the world is the matter with you ? if you go on like this you will die . ' ' i would rather die than not know what is in that tureen , ' she burst forth so violently that the husband was quite startled . ' is that it ?

soon it began to drizzle ; then the drops came faster , and there was a regular down - pour . when it was over , two little street boys came along . ' just look ! ' cried one . ' here is a tin - soldier ! he shall sail up and down in a boat ! ' so they made a little boat out of newspaper , put the tin - soldier in it , and made him sail up and down the gutter ; both the boys ran along beside him , clapping their hands . what great waves there were in the gutter , and what a swift current ! the paper - boat tossed up and down , and in the middle of the stream it went so quick that the tin - soldier trembled ; but he remained steadfast , showed no emotion , looked straight in front of him , shouldering his gun . all at once the boat passed under a long tunnel that was as dark as his box had been .

now he was so near to it that he could not hold on any longer . on went the boat , the poor tin - soldier keeping himself as stiff as he could : no one should say of him afterwards that he had flinched . the boat whirled three , four times round , and became filled to the brim with water : it began to sink ! the tin - soldier was standing up to his neck in water , and deeper and deeper sank the boat , and softer and softer grew the paper ; now the water was over his head . he was thinking of the pretty little dancer , whose face he should never see again , and there sounded in his ears , over and over again : ' forward , forward , soldier bold ! death 's before thee , grim and cold !
