n nee upon a time in the land of
Hungary there was poor man
who had an only son who was very
good and very fond of doing all that he
could to help his father
So finally one spring the father said:
My boy, it is pretty hard trying to
make enough out of the woods to care
for two of US through the long winter.
Besides. you are now growing up and
l do not want to think of your leading
the same hard. sad existence that I
have, This wood is too far from the
great world for happiness. and so I
think You should Np away from home
and begin to look about you with the
hopes of getting a better time out of
life than ever your father has done"
Very, well. father said the boy-
whose name was Johann and who was
very obedient
Bidding all his old friends of the for
est goodby and strapping his knapsack.
containing little meal and a flask of
water upon his back. he started ont
upon his journey to look for work.
AT last one day he met a man who
agreed TO give him years employment
as shepherd. So he went home vvttb
the man without making any bargain
as TO what he was to receive for his
years work, and that night he had a
~.
bed. AT the end of the first dav if he
proved to be promising shepherd IL
was decided that he was to make a bar
gam as 10 what wages he was 10 get
for the year
Early the next day his master sava
MN flute and sent him out with tba
sheep to see whether he was fit for bis
WORK The lad did not lie down Ar
day, very unlike many law fellows
He drove his sheep from place 10 rIacs
and played his flute all day long. There
was among the sheep a lamb with a
golden fleece. which, whenever he
prayed his flute. began to dance. The
lau became very fond of this lamb and
mace up his mind not TO ask any wages
OF ms master but only this little lamb.
IN the evening he returned home. his
master waited at the gate and when
ne saw the sheep all there and all ven
Ieu ne was very pleased and began 10
bargain with the lad. who said he
wished nothing but the lamb with the.
soldeh fleece The farmer was verv
fond of the lamb himself and II 80
with great unwillingness he promised
IL. But afterward when he saw what
good servant the lad made he vas
satisfied with his bargain. The ,yea-
passed away, the lad received the tannh
Tor MS wages and set off home with II

ne reached village: so he went to a
farmhouse TO ask for a nights lodofper
ihere was daughter in the house
VINO when she saw the lamb with the
golden fleece determined she would get
the lamb for herself.
About midnight she arose and went
10 get the lamb, but to her surprise tba
moment she touched it she stuck hard
and fast to its fleece. She pulled and
tusged and tugged and pulled. but She
couldn't get away; so that when the
lad got up he found her stuck TO tbe
lamb. He could not separate them and
so he decided that as he wasn't willing
10 lose the lamb the best thing was for
him to take them both with him and 10
get away before any one raised a com
motion about this strange occurrence
so he started out, dragging the lamb
after him, the lamb. in turn. dragging
