original ¶1

There was a great war, and the king had many soldiers, but gave them small pay, so small that they could not live upon it, so three of them agreed among themselves to desert. One of them said to the others, "If we are caught we shall be hanged on the gallows, how shall we manage it?" Another said, "Look at that great cornfield, if we were to hide ourselves there, no one could find us, the troops are not allowed to enter it, and to-morrow they are to march away." They crept into the corn, only the troops did not march away, but remained lying all round about it. They stayed in the corn for two days and two nights, and were so hungry that they all but died, but if they had come out, their death would have been certain. Then said they, "What is the use of our deserting if we have to perish miserably here?"

v3 ¶1

A big war was going on. The King had many soldiers, but he did not pay them enough to buy food. So, three soldiers decided to run away. One of them asked, "If we get caught, they will hang us. What should we do?" Another soldier pointed to a tall cornfield. "If we hide there, no one will find us. The soldiers are not allowed to go inside, and they are supposed to leave tomorrow." The three men crept quietly into the corn. But the soldiers did not leave. They stayed right outside the field. The men hid there for two whole days. They were very hungry and felt very weak. If they had come out, they would have been caught.

original ¶2

But now a fiery dragon came flying through the air, and it came down to them, and asked why they had concealed themselves there. They answered, "We are three soldiers who have deserted because the pay was so bad, and now we shall have to die of hunger if we stay here, or to dangle on the gallows if we go out." "If you will serve me for seven years," said the dragon, "I will convey you through the army so that no one shall seize you." "We have no choice and are compelled to accept," they replied. Then the dragon caught hold of them with his claws, and carried them away through the air over the army, and put them down again on the earth far from it, but the dragon was no other than the devil. He gave them a small whip and said, "Whip with it and crack it, and then as much gold will spring up round about as you can wish for, then you can live like great lords, keep horses, and drive your carriages, but when the seven years have come to an end, you are my property."

v3 ¶2

Then they asked, "What is the use of leaving if we are just going to be sad and cold here?

original ¶3

Then he put before them a book which they were all three forced to sign. "But first I will ask you a riddle," said he, "and if you can guess it, you shall be free, and released from my power." Then the dragon flew away from them, and they went away with their whip, had gold in plenty, ordered themselves rich apparel, and traveled about the world. Wherever they were they lived in pleasure and magnificence, rode on horseback, drove in carriages, ate and drank, but did nothing wicked. The time slipped quickly by, and when the seven years were coming to an end, two of them were terribly anxious and alarmed, but the third took the affair easily, and said, "Brothers, fear nothing, I still have my wits about me, I shall guess the riddle." They went out into the open country and sat down, and the two pulled sorrowful faces. Then an aged woman came up to them who inquired why they were so sad. "Well," said they, "what has that got to do with you? After all, you cannot help us." "Who knows?" said she. "Just confide your trouble to me." So they told her that they had been the devil's servants for nearly seven years, and that he had provided them with gold as though it were hay, but that they had sold themselves to him, and were forfeited to him, if at the end of the seven years they could not guess a riddle.

v3 ¶3

But then a big, fiery dragon flew down from the sky. He landed in front of them and asked why they were hiding there. The soldiers told him, "We are soldiers who ran away because the pay was so low. If we stay here, we will starve. If we go out, we will be caught and hanged." The dragon said, "If you work for me for seven years, I will hide you from the army so no one can catch you." The soldiers had no choice but to say yes. The dragon grabbed them with his claws and flew them high over the army. He put them down safely far away, but the dragon was really the Devil.

original ¶4

The old woman said, "If you are to be saved, one of you must go into the forest, there he will come to a fallen rock which looks like a little house, he must enter that, and then he will obtain help." The two melancholy ones thought to themselves, "That will still not save us," and stayed where they were, but the third, the merry one, got up and walked on in the forest until he found the rockhouse. In the little house a very aged woman was sitting, who was the devil's grandmother, and asked the soldier where he came from, and what he wanted there. He told her everything that had happened, and as he pleased her well, she had pity on him, and said she would help him. She lifted up a great stone which lay above a cellar, and said, "Conceal yourself there, you can hear everything that is said here, only sit still, and do not stir. When the dragon comes, I will question him about the riddle, he tells everything to me, so listen carefully to his answer."

v3 ¶4

He gave them a small whip and said, "Whip with it and crack it. Then, as much gold will spring up round about as you can wish for. You can live like great lords, keep horses, and drive your carriages. But when the seven years have come to an end, you are my property.

original ¶5

At twelve o'clock at night, the dragon came flying thither, and asked for his dinner. The grandmother laid the table, and served up food and drink, so that he was pleased, and they ate and drank together. In the course of conversation, she asked him what kind of a day he had had, and how many souls he had got. "Nothing went very well to-day," he answered, "but I have laid hold of three soldiers, I have them safe." "Indeed? Three soldiers, they're clever, they may escape you yet." The devil said mockingly, "They are mine. I will set them a riddle, which they will never be able to guess." "What riddle is that?" she inquired. "I will tell you, in the great north sea lies a dead dogfish, that shall be your roast meat, and the rib of a whale shall be your silver spoon, and a hollow old horse's hoof shall be your wineglass."

v3 ¶5

Then he put a big book in front of them. They all had to sign their names in it. "But first, I will ask you a riddle," he said. "If you can guess it, you will be free. You will be safe from my magic." Then the dragon flew away. The brothers took their whip and went home. They found so much gold that they bought beautiful clothes. They traveled all over the world. They lived in a big, happy house. They rode horses and drove carriages. They ate good food and drank sweet juice. But they were very kind and did not do anything mean. The years went by very fast. When the seven years were almost over, two brothers were very worried. But the third brother was not scared. He said, "Don't worry, brothers. I am still smart. I will guess the riddle.

original ¶6

When the devil had gone to bed, the old grandmother raised up the stone, and let out the soldier. "Did you give heed to everything?" "Yes," said he, "I know enough, and will save myself." Then he had to go back another way, through the window, secretly and with all speed to his companions. He told them how the devil had been outwitted by the old grandmother, and how he had learned the answer to the riddle from him. Then they were all delighted, and of good cheer, and took the whip and whipped so much gold for themselves that it ran all over the ground.

v3 ¶6

They went out into the open field and sat down. The two boys looked very sad. Then an old woman came up to them. She asked why they were so unhappy. "Well," they said, "what does that have to do with you? You cannot help us." "Who knows?" she said. "Just tell me your trouble." So they told her that they had worked for the devil for nearly seven years. He had given them gold like it was hay. But they had sold themselves to him. If they could not guess a riddle by the end of the seven years, they would belong to him forever.

original ¶7

When the seven years had fully gone by, the devil came with the book, showed the signatures, and said, "I will take you with me to hell. There you shall have a meal. If you can guess what kind of roast meat you will have to eat, you shall be free and released from your bargain, and may keep the whip as well." Then the first soldier began and said, "In the great north sea lies a dead dogfish, that no doubt is the roast meat."

v3 ¶7

The old woman said, "If you want to be safe, one of you must go into the forest. You will find a big rock that looks like a little house. Go inside, and you will get help." The sad ones stayed where they were. They thought, "That will not save us." But the happy one got up and walked into the woods. He found the little house. An old lady was sitting there. She was the devil's grandmother. She asked him where he came from and what he wanted. He told her everything that happened. She liked him very much. She felt sorry for him and said she would help him.

original ¶8

The devil was angry, and began to mutter, "Hm. Hm. Hm." And asked the second, "But what will your spoon be?" "The rib of a whale, that is to be our silver spoon." The devil made a wry face, again growled, "Hm. Hm. Hm." He said to the third, "And do you also know what your wineglass is to be?" "An old horse's hoof is to be our wineglass." Then the devil flew away with a loud cry, and had no more power over them, but the three kept the whip, whipped as much money for themselves with it as they wanted, and lived happily to their end.

v3 ¶8

She pushed aside a big stone that covered a cellar. She said, "Hide in there. You can hear everything that is said here. Just sit very still and do not move. When the dragon comes, I will ask him about the riddle. He tells me everything, so listen very carefully to his answer.

original

v3 ¶9

At midnight, the dragon flew in and asked for his dinner. The grandmother set the table with food and drink. He was happy, and they ate and drank together. She asked how his day had been and how many souls he had caught. "Nothing went very well today," he said, "but I have caught three soldiers. They are safe with me." "Really? Three soldiers? They are clever. They might escape you yet." The devil laughed. "They are mine. I will give them a riddle. They will never guess it." "What is the riddle?" she asked.

original

v3 ¶10

In the great North Sea, there is a big, dead dogfish. That will be your roast meat. A whale bone will be your silver spoon. And a hollow, old horse hoof will be your wineglass.

original

v3 ¶11

When the devil went to sleep, the old grandmother moved the heavy stone. She let the soldier out. "Did you remember everything?" she asked. "Yes," he said. "I know what to do. I will save myself." Then he had to go back another way. He climbed out the window and ran quickly to his friends. He told them how the old woman had tricked the devil. He told them how he had learned the answer to the riddle. They were so happy and excited. They took the whip and made the gold come out. It covered the ground in a big pile of shiny coins.

original

v3 ¶12

The seven years passed quickly. Then the devil came back with the big book. He showed the signatures and said, "I will take you to my home. There you will have a meal. If you can guess what kind of roast meat you will eat, you will be free. You can keep the whip, too." The first soldier stepped forward. He looked at the devil and said, "In the deep blue sea, there is a big dead dogfish. That must be the roast meat.

original

v3 ¶13

The devil was very angry. He made a grumpy sound, "Hm. Hm. Hm." He asked the second friend, "But what will your spoon be?" "The rib of a whale," said the friend. "That is to be our silver spoon." The devil made a sad face and grumbled again, "Hm. Hm. Hm." He asked the third friend, "And do you also know what your wineglass is to be?" "An old horse's hoof is to be our wineglass." Then the devil flew away with a loud cry. He had no more power over them. The three friends kept the whip. They used it to make as much money as they wanted. They lived happily until the end.

"The devil was angry, and began to mutter, \"Hm. Hm. Hm.\" And asked the second, \"But what will your spoon be?\" \"The rib of a whale, that is to be our silver spoon.\" The devil made a wry face, again growled, \"Hm. Hm. Hm.\" He said to the third, \"And do you also know what your wineglass is to be?\" \"An old horse's hoof is to be our wineglass.\" Then the devil flew away with a loud cry, and had no more power over them, but the three kept the whip, whipped as much money for themselves with it as they wanted, and lived happily to their end."

"There was a great war, and the king had many soldiers, but gave them small pay, so small that they could not live upon it, so three of them agreed among themselves to desert. One of them said to the others, \"If we are caught we shall be hanged on the gallows, how shall we manage it?\" Another said, \"Look at that great cornfield, if we were to hide ourselves there, no one could find us, the troops are not allowed to enter it, and to-morrow they are to march away.\" They crept into the corn, only the troops did not march away, but remained lying all round about it. They stayed in the corn for two days and two nights, and were so hungry that they all but died, but if they had come out, their death would have been certain.",
"Then said they, \"What is the use of our deserting if we have to perish miserably here?\"",
"But now a fiery dragon came flying through the air, and it came down to them, and asked why they had concealed themselves there. They answered, \"We are three soldiers who have deserted because the pay was so bad, and now we shall have to die of hunger if we stay here, or to dangle on the gallows if we go out.\" \"If you will serve me for seven years,\" said the dragon, \"I will convey you through the army so that no one shall seize you.\" \"We have no choice and are compelled to accept,\" they replied. Then the dragon caught hold of them with his claws, and carried them away through the air over the army, and put them down again on the earth far from it, but the dragon was no other than the devil.",
"He gave them a small whip and said, \"Whip with it and crack it, and then as much gold will spring up round about as you can wish for, then you can live like great lords, keep horses, and drive your carriages, but when the seven years have come to an end, you are my property.\"",
"Then he put before them a book which they were all three forced to sign. \"But first I will ask you a riddle,\" said he, \"and if you can guess it, you shall be free, and released from my power.\" Then the dragon flew away from them, and they went away with their whip, had gold in plenty, ordered themselves rich apparel, and traveled about the world. Wherever they were they lived in pleasure and magnificence, rode on horseback, drove in carriages, ate and drank, but did nothing wicked. The time slipped quickly by, and when the seven years were coming to an end, two of them were terribly anxious and alarmed, but the third took the affair easily, and said, \"Brothers, fear nothing, I still have my wits about me, I shall guess the riddle.\"",
"They went out into the open country and sat down, and the two pulled sorrowful faces. Then an aged woman came up to them who inquired why they were so sad. \"Well,\" said they, \"what has that got to do with you? After all, you cannot help us.\" \"Who knows?\" said she. \"Just confide your trouble to me.\" So they told her that they had been the devil's servants for nearly seven years, and that he had provided them with gold as though it were hay, but that they had sold themselves to him, and were forfeited to him, if at the end of the seven years they could not guess a riddle.",
"The old woman said, \"If you are to be saved, one of you must go into the forest, there he will come to a fallen rock which looks like a little house, he must enter that, and then he will obtain help.\" The two melancholy ones thought to themselves, \"That will still not save us,\" and stayed where they were, but the third, the merry one, got up and walked on in the forest until he found the rockhouse. In the little house a very aged woman was sitting, who was the devil's grandmother, and asked the soldier where he came from, and what he wanted there. He told her everything that had happened, and as he pleased her well, she had pity on him, and said she would help him.",
"She lifted up a great stone which lay above a cellar, and said, \"Conceal yourself there, you can hear everything that is said here, only sit still, and do not stir. When the dragon comes, I will question him about the riddle, he tells everything to me, so listen carefully to his answer.\"",
"At twelve o'clock at night, the dragon came flying thither, and asked for his dinner. The grandmother laid the table, and served up food and drink, so that he was pleased, and they ate and drank together. In the course of conversation, she asked him what kind of a day he had had, and how many souls he had got. \"Nothing went very well to-day,\" he answered, \"but I have laid hold of three soldiers, I have them safe.\" \"Indeed? Three soldiers, they are clever, they may escape you yet.\" The devil said mockingly, \"They are mine. I will set them a riddle, which they will never be able to guess.\" \"What riddle is that?\" she inquired.",
"\"I will tell you, in the great north sea lies a dead dogfish, that shall be your roast meat, and the rib of a whale shall be your silver spoon, and a hollow old horse's hoof shall be your wineglass.\"",
"When the devil had gone to bed, the old grandmother raised up the stone, and let out the soldier. \"Did you give heed to everything?\" \"Yes,\" said he, \"I know enough, and will save myself.\" Then he had to go back another way, through the window, secretly and with all speed to his companions. He told them how the devil had been outwitted by the old grandmother, and how he had learned the answer to the riddle from him. Then they were all delighted, and of good cheer, and took the whip and whipped so much gold for themselves that it ran all over the ground.",

"A big war was going on. The King had many soldiers, but he did not pay them enough to buy food. So, three soldiers decided to run away. One of them asked, \"If we get caught, they will hang us. What should we do?\" Another soldier pointed to a tall cornfield. \"If we hide there, no one will find us. The soldiers are not allowed to go inside, and they are supposed to leave tomorrow.\" The three men crept quietly into the corn. But the soldiers did not leave. They stayed right outside the field. The men hid there for two whole days. They were very hungry and felt very weak. If they had come out, they would have been caught.",
"Then they asked, \"What is the use of leaving if we are just going to be sad and cold here?",
"But then a big, fiery dragon flew down from the sky. He landed in front of them and asked why they were hiding there. The soldiers told him, \"We are soldiers who ran away because the pay was so low. If we stay here, we will starve. If we go out, we will be caught and hanged.\" The dragon said, \"If you work for me for seven years, I will hide you from the army so no one can catch you.\" The soldiers had no choice but to say yes. The dragon grabbed them with his claws and flew them high over the army. He put them down safely far away, but the dragon was really the Devil.",

You will be safe from my magic.\" Then the dragon flew away. The brothers took their whip and went home. They found so much gold that they bought beautiful clothes. They traveled all over the world. They lived in a big, happy house. They rode horses and drove carriages. They ate good food and drank sweet juice. But they were very kind and did not do anything mean. The years went by very fast. When the seven years were almost over, two brothers were very worried. But the third brother was not scared. He said, \"Don't worry, brothers. I am still smart. I will guess the riddle.",
