And then he ground =eatahles and=drinks-

friends to banquet.-When the rich broth

turned <het. and xcold with Fexasiensp for he
grudged his brother the least Wipdfalla ~

his brother, he said arg
Behind the door, answered the other, who

| any longer. but brought out his mill.
Here is the golden goose that has brought
me all my riches, said he, and made themih
| grind first one@thing and then another On
seeing this, the brother wanted 70 buy the
mill of him, but the other would not hear of
it at first. At length, however, as his broth
er seemed to wish for. it So very much, he
said he would take three hundred pounds for
it. only be, ,bargained not to. part with il till

| During this space of time, we may easily

rusty; and when harvest time came, the bro
! ther had it given him, only the other had ta-
| ken good care not to tell him how he was to
/ manage it.. ,x-.4, -.g.-1
1t was evening when the rich brother bret
the mill home. and, on the following morning
/ be told his wife that she might go. into the
| field with the rcapers, and that he would
meanwhile prepare the dinner. Towards mid
day, therefore, he placed the mill on the kitch-
/ en- table. 80 "A ~
Grind away said be, 'and let US have
| some herrings and mess of, milk of the best
| sort So the mill began to turn out herrings
and milk, till all the dishes, and pots, and
/ pans were flled, and at last the kitchen was
| completely flooded. The man kept twisting
and turning the mill but do what be would,
the mill did not cease grinding. and at length
| the milk had risen SO high that he was in dan
! ger of being drowned. He now tore open the
chamber door, but it was not long before the
chamber was likewise inundated and it was
with difficulty that he could wade through the
milky tide, and manage TO unfasten the latch
of the house door. No sooner had he opened
[
a torrent of milk and herrings. And on he
ran till he reached his brothers., aud then he
entreated his poor relation for Gods sake, to
take his mill back; for if it goes on grinding
! for another hour said be, the whole village
will be inundated with herrings and milk"
d But, the brother refused to take back the
mill unless the other counted him out three
hundred pounds more; and as there was no
help for it, the rich man was fain to pay him
the money.sssSo now that the poer brother
thad money as well as the mill, he built house
| that was far handsomer than the one his rich
brother Inhabited. With the help of the mill
he collected SO much gold that he could cover
pthe walls With plates Of gold. aadsas tue house
