all the while , each one thought most of himself , or of what the money - pig could be thinking . his thoughts were on , as he supposed , a very distant time -- of making his will , and of his burial , and of when it might all come to pass . certainly sooner than he expected -- for all at once down he came from the top of the press , fell on the ground , and was broken to pieces . then the pennies hopped and danced about in the most amusing manner . the little ones twirled round like tops , and the large ones rolled away as far as they could , especially the one great silver crown piece who had often to go out into the world , and now he had his wish as well as all the rest of the money . the pieces of the money - pig were thrown into the dust - bin , and the next day there stood a new money - pig on the cupboard , but it had not a farthing in its inside yet , and therefore , like the old one , it could not rattle . this was the beginning with him , and we will make it the end of our story .
on the ground .
where did the money-box fall ?
