dOWs fastened with iron bars. and in
the chamber stood q table spread with
the choicest and most delicious dishes.
-Frithec come in, and make y0ur-
selves merry said the king.
.. But no sooner had they entered the
! room than be ordered the door 10 be
shut and boiled. Thea he called thc
cook. and h8dr him make large fire
under the chamber. and heat the iron
red-EUt. - the cook went and did as
the king ordered.
| NOW, as Fritz and his comrades
were sitting at the table. they began 10
feel excessively warm. At first they
thought little Of this, and l.Mcici that
il only came from eating and drinking.
But still u grew hotter. until dt length
they could bear il Ho longer, and tried
Ia make their escape. bat the door and
aHd windows were all fastened. Then
the kings wicked intention came to
light, and they SAW plainly that hc
wished 10 Stiilc them.
Wen be "a match for Inn vet" said
the man with thc wonderful hat; Il
I viii bring frost that will cool the fire
IN "a trice.
80 saying he So. his lat straight up
| on his head. and instantly There came
| uH such Il frost that aii the fire vanish
/ cd, and the food upon tie dishes was
frozen like ice.
After a few hours the king fancicd
/ that Fritz and his friends must have
! persisted iH the heat, SO iic ordered the
! door 10 be unlocked, and lac went him
/ self 10 look after them. But when the
! door WIS opened there they all sat.
| safe and sound, but shiycring and
! shaking with the cold.
well, said Fritz 10 the king, "I'm
| glad you've come al last 10 let Us out
I We should soon have persisted with
the cold in this chamber; look yc, all
the food is frozen in the dishes"
Then the king went in Il great rage
10 the cook, and rated him well for not
having done as he ordered.
But the cook answered: There is
fire enough TO roast an OK. Let your
majesty come and see with your own
eycs."
80 the king went to the furnace,
where a great fire WAS burning. and he
saw plainly that lac could do nothing
with Fritz and his servants IN that
way.
rho him, ,,,.,,ol y,-,. =, L.. r,,;,l oil
the plans he could think Of tO get lid
of his troublesome guests; then he
called Fritz, and said:
IF YOU Will take money and give mp |
your right tO my daughter. YOU shall |
have as much gold rs You please"
with all my heart, your majesty" |
said Fritz. "Giye me what my servant |
can carry. and YOU may keep your
daughter and welcome"
At this the king was highly pleased, |
and Fritz said:
"ln a fortnight | will come back and /
fetch the money"
Then Fritz went and called together
all the tailOrs of the kingdom. and told /
them they must set To work for a
whole fortnight and sew him sack.
And when il was ready the strong

the king. Then said the king:
"WhU is that StrOng-hacked fellow
with huge bale upon his shoulders as
big rs any house?"
The truth is, he was in 4 terrible
fright, when he thought what load
of money the man would carry off.
Then the king ordered 4 ton of gold TO
he brought, which il took sixteen of
the strongest men to carry. But the
strong man packed IT all into the sack
with one hand. and said:
Come. quick, why don't you bring
more: This Will not cover the bottom
of the sack"
So the king ordered all his treasures
and money 10 be brought, one after
another, and the strong man slowed
them away in his sack; but still it was
not half full.
as this aIl?7 cried the man; "why
don't Vi.--' bring mOres"
Then seven thousand more wagons
full of gold were brought from every
corner of the kingdom, and the strong
man stuffed them into his sack, wag-
OnS. oxen. and all. saving:
There is no Use being particular,
50 | may as well take what comes to
hand"
But when all was put into it, there
was still room for a great deal more.
Il must make money out Of this
business" cried the man, moreover.
It's easy to tie up a sack when it is
only half full"
So saying, he threw it over his
and logged on with his COM
pIniOns.
When the king saw 4 single man
off the wealth of his whole
he fell into a rage, and or
dered his soldiers to mOunt their
horses and ride after Fritz and his
friends, and take the sack away from
the strong man. SO gallOppcd two
troops Of horses, who soon overlook
the travellers. Then they called aloud
TO them:
Halt! you are now our prisoners:
lay the sack down, or it shall fare i'll
with YOU
whats that You say" answered
the man with the strong breath. I'VE
your prisoners, indeed, nay, nay, he
fore that comes 10 pass YOU shall all of
You dance a jig In the air."
80 saying. he closed one side of his
nose and blew out of the other, until
all the soldiers were scattered 10 the
winds, and carried over the mountains
and far away. But an old sergeant
begged hard for mercy. saying that he
had fought brayely in wars and had
nine wounds, and the sergeant alighted
safely and softly on the ground. Then ;
said the blower 10 him:
Now go yOuE WAY To the king. and
tell him to send some more of his ;
troops, and III blow them away after
the Others.
But when the king heard this mes
sage, he said: Let Them 90, lei them
go! they are pack of c0njUrerS.'
So Fritz and his companions took
home all the money, divided il amongI
themselves, and lived rich and happy
To the end of their days. /:
