my danes knowing it, and to try to drive
a good bargain with it, so that may gel
good sum of money for it
SO he went home and set off with the
OK, AMI his old dame never knew a word
about the matter. But the robbers, they
knew all about it, and they said to the
youth that, if he could steal this OK as
he had stolen the other two, then he
should be master over the whole band
Well, the youth set off and ran into the
wood; and as the man came by with his
OK. he set up dreadful believing, just
like great OK N the wood. When the
man heard that, You can't think how
glad he was, for it seemed to him that
he knew the voice o. his big bullock
and he thought that now he should find
both of them again; so he tied up the
third OK. and ran off from the road to
look for them in the wood; but meantime
the youth went off with the third OK
Now, when the man came back and found
that he had lost this OK too, he was so
wild that there was no end to his grief.
He cried, and roared, and beat his breast,
and, to tell the truth, it was many days
before he dared to go home; for he was
afraid lest his old dame should kill him
outright on the spot.
As for the robbers, they were not very
well pleased either, when they had to
own that the youth was master over the
whole band. So one day they thought
they would try their hands at at some
thing which he was not mean enough to
do; and they set off every man Jack of
them. and left him alone at home. Now
the first thing that he did when they
were all well clear of the house, was to
drive the oxen out TO the road, so that
they could run back to the man from
whom he had stolen them; and right
glad was he to see them. as you may
lancy. Next, he took all the horses
which the robbers had, and loaded them
with the best things he could lay his
hands on-gold and silver, and clothes
and other fine things; and then bade the
old dame to greet the robbers when they
came back, and to thank them for him.
and to say that now be was setting off
or his travels; and that they would have
hard work to find him again; and with
that, off he started.
