but a very few days of wandering opened their eyes . nobody seemed to want them , or , if they did , the young men declared that they were not able to undertake all that the farmers or millers or woodcutters required of them . the youngest brother , who was wiser , would gladly have done some of the work that the others refused , but he was small and slight , and no one thought of offering him any . therefore they went from one place to another , living only on the fruit and nuts they could find in the woods , and getting hungrier every day . one night , after they had been walking for many hours and were very tired , they came to a large lake with an island in the middle of it . from the island streamed a strong light , by which they could see everything almost as clearly as if the sun had been shining , and they perceived that , lying half hidden in the rushes , was a boat .
