ance, but in old times they gave us other
treasures besides, that is silver and gold but
all that was over long ago"
Eyes" said another guest, ''if what is
written in our chronicle is true, our commu-
nifty was formerly rich beyond compare.
Once the emperor visited the city, and it was
an ancient custom among the inhabitants to
honor the emperor with gift, namely,
sheep and lamb; why just this and nothing
more / cannot say Therefore the people
brought the emperor the usual Offering only
the sheep was of silver and the lamh of gold.
And his majesty is said to have been very
much amazed at it,"
"They say, too, began third, "that in old
times there stood near here village which
has now disappeared. The village possessed
inexhaustible silver mines, and the people
hardly knew what to do with the excessive
riches. Then, as is apt to be the case, they
became proud and naughty, and, in their ar
rogance, played ninepins with balls and pins
of gold, and committed all sorts of crime be-
sides; and one night the village, with chill
dren and ninepins, was swallowed up and at
the present day it is hardly known where it
stood"
Now the landlady, who came and went
with keys and mugs entered into the CONVEX
satloh OF the men. GU nave hearu the
story, but haven't told it correctly. The case
of the sunken village is altogether different.
Inc people VINO uWelu Uhere spent goou lives
and bad ones, like ourselves. They were
prosperous but they did not play with golden
ninepins Now, it once happened that a
whole year passed without a death among
the inhabitants of the village, and when All
Souls day came they SAID, why should we
pray and mournf we nave carried nobody
to the grave IN the last year 80 they were
