NCE upon a time a man had
three nephews, Nardo. Mat
teO, and MicCo.

~ NCE upon a time a man had
three nephews, Nardo, Mat
teo, and Micco.
Nardo was always ready to
help his uncle, and as they lived on a
Dig farm there was always much to be
none. but his brothers grumbled when
'they were asked to help. and wanted
TO take their comfort and work.
. Nardo never complained but helped
his uncle cheerfully and of course, be-
came his favorite.
You shall have all nv gold" de-
clared his uncle one day, land your
lazy brothers will have to work or
starve when I am gone"
=, When Matteo and MiCCo heard this
they began to plan a way to get rid Of
Nardo, and then said they, uncle will
nave no one else TO leave his wealth
TO-. In the country where they lived
there was high mountain. on the top
OF which there lived a witch, and It
was said she possessed huge COW that
gave quarts and quarts of rich cream
each day instead of milk, and that
all she cate was no more than one
ordinary COW would consume.
So Matteo and MCco went to their
uncle and said, "If YOU had this cow
uncle, you would not need any other:
tshe would eat little and give more
cream than all Of the cows you now
nave. We are sure that Nardo could
get her for you. he is so clever" The
uncle. of course. did not see through
the scheming brothers plan so he sent
for Nardo and said. "Tf you wish to
serve me get the COW that the witch
has on top of the mountain"
Now NardO knew that his brothers
were planning to get him out of the
way, and so he went to a fairy he knew
OF in a dell in the forest and told her
what his uncle wished.
II will help you all I cam" she told
Nardo. giving him bride; put this
over the head of the cow and you can
take her to your home in safety, but
you must manage to get into the barn
where the COW is kept; that | cannot
to the top of the mountain and waited
until the witch put out the light in her
cave, then he stole softly up to the barn
the door. but no sooner had he done so
than black cat ran past him scream
Ing, Come quickly, the COW Is in dan
ger"
This so upset Nardo that he started to
run. but then he thought of the bride
and remembered that once he put It
over the head of the COW he could con-
duct her to his uncle in safety. So he
hurried to the COW and had Just slipped
the bride over her head when the cat
returned and the old witch was with
her
Instantly Nardo felt that he was flv-
ing through the air. and the COW seemed
TO sail along beside him, and soon he
was back at his uncle'S door and pre-
sented him with the wonderful COW

hearing YOU. Steal up behind him and
throw the net over his head. He will
then be powerless and you must then
strike the tree three times and say:
Tree that bears the golden fruit.
Let me lift you branch and root "
Nardo was very careful to do just as
the fairy told him and then next day
he presented the tree to his uncle.
3 ut his uncle did not live long to en-
joy his treasures, and when he died
he left all his money and the wonder
full tree and COW to Nardo
or course, Nardo was very rich and
his brothers very poor but he forgave
them for all their sCheming and plan
ming to get rid OF him. and gave to
each a bag of gold and told them they
must go to a foreign country to live.
Nardo lived in peace and plenty after
that and did much good among the
poor with his wealth.
