"" he said , "" my friend , come out and play with me ; "" and he urged the boy till he consented . they played and shot their arrows by turns . suddenly the young boy said , "" your father is coming . we must stop . promise me that you will not tell him . "" the hunter 's son promised , and the other disappeared in the tree . when the hunter returned from the chase , his son sat demurely by the fire . in the course of the evening he asked his father to make him a new bow ; and when he was questioned as to the use he could find for two bows , he answered that one might break or get lost . the father pleased at his son 's diligence in the practice of the bow , made him the two weapons ; and the next day , as soon as his father had gone away , the boy ran to the hollow tree , and invited his little friend to come out and play ; at the same time presenting to him the new bow . they went and played in the lodge together , and in their sport they raised the ashes all over it . suddenly again the youngest said , "" your father is coming , i must leave . "" he again exacted a promise of secresy , and went back to his tree . the eldest took his seat near the fire . when the hunter came in he was surprised to see the ashes scattered about .

"" do as i request you , and be quick . "" she then gave little spirit his dish , and he commenced eating . just then the brothers came to the door . "" see ! "" cried the sister , "" the man with four heads ! "" the brothers were about to lift the curtain at the door , when the boy - man turned his dish upside down . immediately the door was closed with a stone , upon which the four brothers set to work and hammered with their clubs with great fury . at length they succeeded in making a slight opening . one of the brothers presented his face at this little window , and rolled his eye about at the boy - man in a very threatening way . the little spirit , who , when he had closed the door , had returned to his meal , which he was quietly eating , took up his bow and arrow which lay by his side , he let fly the shaft , which , striking the man in the head , he fell back . the boy - man merely called out "" number one "" as he fell , and went on with his meal . in a moment a second face , just like the first , presented itself . as he raised his bow , his sister said to him : "" what is the use ? you have killed that man already . "" little spirit fired his arrow -- the man fell -- he called out "" number two , "" and continued his meal . the two others of the four brothers were dispatched in the same quiet way , and counted off as "" number three "" and "" number four . "" after they were all well disposed of in this way , the boy - man directed his sister to go out and see them . she presently ran back , saying : "" there are four of them . "" "" of course , "" the boy - man answered , "" and there always shall be four of them . "" going out himself , the boy - man raised the brothers to their feet , and giving each a push , one with his face to the east , another to the west , a third to the south , and the last to the north , he sent them off to wander about the earth . whenever you see four men just alike , they are the four brothers whom the little spirit or boy - man dispatched upon their travels . but this was not the last display of the boy - man 's power . when spring came on , and the lake began to sparkle in the morning sun , the boy - man said to his sister : "" make me a new set of arrows , and a bow . "" the great fish said to the boy - man under water . "" what is that floating ? "" to which the boy - man replied : "" go , take hold of it , swallow it as fast as you can . it is a great delicacy . "" the fish darted toward the old shoe and swallowed it , making of it a mere mouthful . the boy - man laughed in himself , but said nothing , till the fish was fairly caught , when he took hold of the line and began to pull himself in his fish - carriage ashore . the sister , who was watching all this time , opened wide her eyes as the huge fish came up and up upon the shore . she opened them still more when the fish seemed to speak . she heard from within a voice , saying , "" make haste and release me from this nasty place . "" it was her brother 's voice , which she was accustomed to obey . she made haste with her knife to open a door in the side of the fish , from which the boy - man presently leaped forth . he lost no time in ordering her to cut it up and dry it , telling her that their spring supply of meat was now provided . the sister now began to believe that her brother was an extraordinary boy . yet she was not altogether satisfied in her mind that he was greater than the rest of the world . they sat , one evening , in the lodge , musing with each other in the dark , by the light of each other 's eyes -- for they had no other of any kind -- when the sister said , "" my brother , it is strange that you , who can do so much , are no wiser than the ko - ko , who gets all his light from the moon ; which shines or not , as it pleases . "" "" and is not that light enough ? "" asked the little spirit . "" quite enough , "" the sister replied . "" if it would but come within the lodge and not sojourn out in the tree - tops and among the clouds . "" "" we will have a light of our own , sister , "" said the boy - man . casting himself upon a mat by the door , he commenced singing : ",what made the sister believe her brother was an extraordinary boy ?,he could kill four men .,,summary,causal relationship,implicit,

pinkel-thief,"long , long ago there lived a widow who had three sons . the two eldest were grown up , and though they were known to be idle fellows , some of the neighbours had given them work to do on account of the respect in which their mother was held . but at the time this story begins they had both been so careless and idle that their masters declared they would keep them no longer . so home they went to their mother and youngest brother , of whom they thought little , because he made himself useful about the house , and looked after the hens , and milked the cow . ' pinkel , ' they called him in scorn , and by - and - by ' pinkel ' became his name throughout the village . the way was further than they thought , and it was morning before they reached the palace . now , at last , their luck seemed to have turned , for while the two eldest were given places in the king 's stables , pinkel was taken as page to the little prince . he was a clever and amusing boy , who saw everything that passed under his eyes , and the king noticed this , and often employed him in his own service , which made his brothers very jealous . things went on this way for some time , and pinkel every day rose in the royal favour . at length the envy of his brothers became so great that they could bear it no longer , and consulted together how best they might ruin his credit with the king . they did not wish to kill him - though , perhaps , they would not have been sorry if they had heard he was dead - but merely wished to remind him that he was after all only a child , not half so old and wise as they . it may easily be guessed that all this made the brothers more envious than they were before ; and they cast about in their minds afresh how best they might destroy him . at length they remembered the goat with golden horns and the bells , and they rejoiced ; ' for , ' said they , ' this time the old woman will be on the watch , and let him be as clever as he likes , the bells on the horns are sure to warn her . ' so when , as before , the king came down to the stables and praised the cleverness of their brother , the young men told him of that other marvel possessed by the witch , the goat with the golden horns . from this moment the king never closed his eyes at night for longing after this wonderful creature . he understood something of the danger that there might be in trying to steal it , now that the witch 's suspicions were aroused , and he spent hours in making plans for outwitting her . but somehow he never could think of anything that would do , and at last , as the brothers had foreseen , he sent for pinkel . as soon as he had reached the middle of the lake , pinkel took the wool out of the bells , which began to tinkle loudly . their sound awoke the witch , who cried out as before : ' is that you , pinkel ? ' ' yes , dear mother , it is i , ' said pinkel . ' have you stolen my golden goat ? ' asked she . ' yes , dear mother , i have , ' answered pinkel . ' are you not a knave , pinkel ?
