"The cock once said to the hen, it is now the time when the nuts are ripe, so let us go to the hill together and for once eat our fill before the squirrel takes them all away. Yes, replied the hen, come, we will have some fun together. Then they went away to the hill, and as it was a bright day they stayed till evening. Now I do not know whether it was that they had eaten till they were too fat, or whether they had become too proud, but they would not go home on foot, and the cock had to build a little carriage of nut-shells. When it was ready, the little hen seated herself in it and said to the cock, you can just harness yourself to it. I like that. Said the cock. I would rather go home on foot than let myself be harnessed to it. No, that is not our bargain. I do not mind being coachman and sitting on the box, but drag it myself I will not. As they were thus disputing, a duck quacked at them, you thieving folks, who bade you go to my nut-hill. Wait, you shall suffer for it, and ran with open beak at the cock. But the cock also was not idle, and fell boldly on the duck, and at last wounded her so with his spurs that she begged for mercy, and willingly let herself be harnessed to the carriage as a punishment. The little cock now seated himself on the box and was coachman, and thereupon they went off at a gallop, with the cock crying, duck, go as fast as you can. When they had driven a part of the way they met two foot-passengers, a pin and a needle. They cried, stop. Stop. And said that it would soon be as dark as pitch, and then they could not go a step further, and that it was so dirty on the road, and asked if they could not get into the carriage for a while. They had been at the tailor's public-house by the gate, and had stayed too long over the beer. As they were thin people, who did not take up much room, the cock let them both get in, but they had to promise him and his little hen not to step on their feet. Late in the evening they came to an inn, and as they did not like to go further by night, and as the duck also was not strong on her feet, and fell from one side to the other, they went in. The host at first made many objections, his house was already full, besides he thought they could not be very distinguished persons. But at last, as they made pleasant speeches, and told him that he should have the egg which the little hen had laid on the way, and should likewise keep the duck, which laid one every day, he at length said that they might stay the night. And now they had themselves well served, and feasted and had a high good time. Early in the morning, when day was breaking and every one was asleep, the cock awoke the hen, brought the egg, pecked it open, and they ate it together, but they threw the shell on the hearth. Then they went to the needle which was still asleep, took it by the head and stuck it into the cushion of the landlord's chair, and put the pin in his towel, and at last without more ado they fled away over the heath. The duck who liked to sleep in the open air and had stayed in the yard, heard them going away, made herself merry and found a stream, down which she swam, which was a much quicker way of traveling than being harnessed to a carriage. The host did not get out of bed until a couple of hours later. He washed himself and was about to dry himself, when the pin went over his face and made a red scratch from one ear to the other. After this he went into the kitchen and wanted to light a pipe, but when he came to the hearth the egg-shell darted into his eyes. This morning everything attacks my head, said he, and angrily sat down on his grandfather's chair, but he quickly started up again and cried, ow, for the needle had pricked him still worse than the pin, and not in the head. Now he was thoroughly angry, and suspected the guests who had come so late the night before. And when he went in search of them, they were gone. Then he made a vow to take no more ragamuffins into his house, for they consume much, pay for nothing, and play mischievous tricks into the bargain by way of gratitude."

Early in the morning, when day was breaking and every one was asleep, the cock awoke the hen, brought the egg, pecked it open, and they ate it together, but they threw the shell on the hearth.

"The duck who liked to sleep in the open air and had stayed in the yard, heard them going away, made herself merry and found a stream, down which she swam, which was a much quicker way of traveling than being harnessed to a carriage. The host did not get out of bed until a couple of hours later. He washed himself and was about to dry himself, when the pin went over his face and made a red scratch from one ear to the other. After this he went into the kitchen and wanted to light a pipe, but when he came to the hearth the egg-shell darted into his eyes. This morning everything attacks my head, said he, and angrily sat down on his grandfather's chair, but he quickly started up again and cried, ow, for the needle had pricked him still worse than the pin, and not in the head.",
"Now he was thoroughly angry, and suspected the guests who had come so late the night before. And when he went in search of them, they were gone. Then he made a vow to take no more ragamuffins into his house, for they consume much, pay for nothing, and play mischievous tricks into the bargain by way of gratitude."

"The cock once said to the hen, it is now the time when the nuts are ripe, so let us go to the hill together and for once eat our fill before the squirrel takes them all away. Yes, replied the hen, come, we will have some fun together. Then they went away to the hill, and as it was a bright day they stayed till evening. Now I do not know whether it was that they had eaten till they were too fat, or whether they had become too proud, but they would not go home on foot, and the cock had to build a little carriage of nut-shells. When it was ready, the little hen seated herself in it and said to the cock, you can just harness yourself to it. I like that. Said the cock. I would rather go home on foot than let myself be harnessed to it. No, that is not our bargain.",
"I do not mind being coachman and sitting on the box, but drag it myself I will not. As they were thus disputing, a duck quacked at them, you thieving folks, who bade you go to my nut-hill. Wait, you shall suffer for it, and ran with open beak at the cock. But the cock also was not idle, and fell boldly on the duck, and at last wounded her so with his spurs that she begged for mercy, and willingly let herself be harnessed to the carriage as a punishment. The little cock now seated himself on the box and was coachman, and thereupon they went off at a gallop, with the cock crying, duck, go as fast as you can. When they had driven a part of the way they met two foot-passengers, a pin and a needle. They cried, stop. Stop.",
"And said that it would soon be as dark as pitch, and then they could not go a step further, and that it was so dirty on the road, and asked if they could not get into the carriage for a while. They had been at the tailor's public-house by the gate, and had stayed too long over the beer. As they were thin people, who did not take up much room, the cock let them both get in, but they had to promise him and his little hen not to step on their feet. Late in the evening they came to an inn, and as they did not like to go further by night, and as the duck also was not strong on her feet, and fell from one side to the other, they went in. The host at first made many objections, his house was already full, besides he thought they could not be very distinguished persons.",
"But at last, as they made pleasant speeches, and told him that he should have the egg which the little hen had laid on the way, and should likewise keep the duck, which laid one every day, he at length said that they might stay the night.

"The rooster once said to the hen, \"The nuts are ripe now. Let us go to the hill together and eat our fill before the squirrel takes them all.\" \"Yes,\" replied the hen. \"Come, let us have some fun together.\" So they went to the hill. It was a bright, happy day, and they stayed there until evening. Now, I do not know if they ate too much or if they just felt too proud, but they did not want to walk home. The rooster had to build a little carriage out of nutshells. When it was ready, the little hen sat inside and said, \"You can just harness yourself to it.\" \"I like that,\" said the rooster. \"I would rather walk home than let myself be harnessed to it.\" \"No, that is not our bargain.",
"I do not mind sitting on the box and driving the carriage, but I will not pull it myself. Just then, a duck quacked at them. \"You thieving folks,\" she said. \"Who told you to go to my nut-hill?\" She waited for them, and then she ran at the cock with her beak open. But the cock was not afraid. He fought back bravely. He hurt the duck with his sharp spurs until she asked for mercy. She agreed to be harnessed to the carriage as her punishment. The little cock sat on the box and became the coachman. Then, they went off at a fast gallop. The cock shouted, \"Duck, go as fast as you can!\" After driving for a while, they met two foot-passengers, a pin and a needle. They cried out, \"Stop! Stop!",
"They said it was getting very dark, and they could not walk any more. The road was so dirty. They asked if they could sit in the carriage for a little while. They had been at the tailor's house by the gate, and they had stayed too long drinking tea. They were thin, so they did not take up much space. The big rooster let them both get in, but they had to promise him and his little hen not to step on their feet.\n\nLate that night, they came to an inn. They did not want to walk by night. The duck was not strong on her feet, and she wobbled from side to side. So, they went inside. The innkeeper first said no. His house was already full. He thought they did not look like important people.",
"But finally, the man agreed to let them stay. He promised them the egg the little hen had laid and said they could keep the duck that laid one every day. So, they had a wonderful feast and a very happy time. Early in the morning, while the house was still dark and everyone was sleeping, the rooster woke the hen. He brought the egg, cracked it open, and they shared it together. They left the empty shell on the warm hearth. Then, they went to the needle, who was still sleeping. They gently took the needle by its head and stuck it into the landlord’s chair. They put the pin in his towel, and without making a sound, they ran away happily across the heath.",
"The duck who liked to sleep outside heard them leave. She was happy and found a stream. She swam down it because it was much faster than pulling a carriage. The host did not get out of bed for a long time. He washed and was drying off when the pin scratched his face. It made a red line from one ear to the other. Then he went to the kitchen to light his pipe. But the eggshell flew into his eyes. \"Everything hurts my head today,\" he said. He sat down in his grandfather's chair, but he jumped up quickly. \"Ouch!\" he cried. The needle had pricked him much worse than the pin, and it did not hurt his head.",
"Now he was very angry. He thought the guests who had come so late were to blame. He looked for them, but they were gone. So, he made a promise to never let ragamuffins into his house again. They ate too much, they never paid, and they played silly tricks just to be mean."
