    son. The other two began to laugh when they saw him getting ready to go. They said "you have done nothing all your life only sit in the ashes". The same noise came, he did not care about it. He heard a horse outside. He went to the door and saw the horse feeding, he ran out and caught the horse. He put a spoke on him, and he could not stir. The next morning he took the horse home and he became one of the most famous horses that ever was known. The hay was never stirred after. The other two boys were not pleased because the youngest son got the famous horse.
