“In olden times there was a young man training a colt by driving him along the roads with a long reins.”
(continued from previous page)[so?] he went over and drew it out. The soldiers at the table rose up and just then the little man appeared. He came to him showed him out to the entrance gate and gave him a purse of money. "Well" said he since you blew the horn and drew the sword you will be the richest man that was ever born." He remembered no more but when he came to himself he found himself awaking from a sleep not far from the lake. The first thing he thought of was the purse. He searched his pockets and to his joy he found it proving that it was'nt a stream but lo ! when he looked into it - it was a purse full of furze blossoms.
