had it all poured into the skin�察�and the giant thought he had it drunk。 The 

giant drank another gallon then�察�and the tailor let another gallon down into 

the skin�察�but the giant thought he was drinking it。 

     ;I'll do a thing now that it won't come with you to do�察─�said the tailor。 

     ;You will not�察─�said the giant。 ;What is it you would do�拭─�

     ;Make a hole and let out the broth again�察─�said the tailor。 

     ;Do it yourself first�察─�said the giant。 

     The tailor gave a prod of the knife�察�and he let the broth out of the skin。 

     ;Do that you�察─�said he。 

     ;I will�察─�said the giant�察�giving such   a prod of the  knife into his   own 

stomach that he killed himself。 That is the way the tailor killed the third 

giant。

     He went to the king then�察�and desired him to send him out his wife and 

his money�察�for that he would throw down the court again unless he should 

get the wife。 They were afraid then that he would throw down the court�察�

and they sent the wife to him。 

     When the tailor was a day gone�察�himself and his wife�察�they repented 

and   followed   him  to   take   his   wife   off   him  again。   The   people   who   were 

after him  were   following   him  till they  came   to   the place   where the   lion 

was�察    �and   the   lion   said   to  them�此    �The    tailor   and   his   wife   were    here 

yesterday。 I saw them going by�察�and if ye loose me now�察�I am swifter than 

ye�察�and I will follow them till I overtake them。; When they heard that�察�they 

loosed out the lion。 

     The   lion   and   the people   of   Dublin   went   on�察  �and   they  were   pursuing 

him�察�until they came to the place where the fox was�察�and the fox greeted 

them�察�and said�此 �The tailor and his wife were here this morning�察�and if ye 

will   loose   me   out�察  �I   am   swifter   than   ye�察  �and   I   will   follow   them�察  �and 

overtake them。; They loosed out the fox then。 

     The   lion   and   the   fox   and   the   army   of   Dublin   went   on   then�察  �trying 

would they catch the tailor�察�and they were going till they came to the place 

where the old white garraun was�察�and the old white garraun said to them 

that the tailor and his wife were there in the morning�察�and ;Loose me out�察─�

said he�察 �I am swifter than ye�察�and I'll overtake them。; They loosed out the 

old white garraun then�察�and the old white garraun�察�the fox�察�the lion�察�and the 

army   of   Dublin   pursued   the   tailor   and   his   wife   together�察  �and   it   was   not 

long till they came up with him�察�and saw himself and the wife out before 

them。 

     When   the   tailor   saw   them   coming�察  �he   got   out   of   the   coach   with   his 

wife�察�and he sat down on the ground。 

     When the old white garraun saw the tailor sitting down on the ground�察�

he said�察 �That's the position he had when he made the hole for me�察�that I 

couldn't   come   up   out   of�察  �when   I   went   down   into   it。   I'll   go   no   nearer   to 

him。; 

     ;No� ─�said the fox�察 �but that's the way he was when he was making the 

thing for me�察�and I'll go no nearer to him。; 

     ;No� ─  �says   the   lion�察   �but   that's   the   very   way   he   had�察  �when   he   was

making the plough that I was caught in。 I'll go no nearer to him。; 

     They   all   went   from   him   then   and   returned。   The   tailor   and   his   wife 

came home to Galway。 



                     THE CASTLE OF FORTUNE��1�А�



     ��1�А  �Adapted     from   the    German     of  Der    Faule   und    der  Fleissige    by 

Robert Reinick。 

       One    lovely   summer      morning�察    �just  as   the  sun   rose�察  �two   travelers 

started on a journey。 They were both strong young men�察�but one was a lazy 

fellow and the other was a worker。 

     As the first sunbeams came over the hills�察�they shone on a great castle 

standing     on   the   heights�察  �as  far  away     as  the  eye   could    see。  It  was   a 

wonderful   and   beautiful   castle�察  �all   glistening   towers   that   gleamed   like 

marble�察�and glancing windows that shone like crystal。 The two young men 

looked at it eagerly�察�and longed to go nearer。 

     Suddenly�察�out of the distance�察�something like a great butterfly�察�of white 

and gold�察�swept toward them。 And when it came nearer�察�they saw that it 

was a most beautiful lady�察�robed in floating garments as fine as cobwebs 

and wearing on her head a crown so bright that no one could tell whether 

it was of diamonds or of dew。 She stood�察�light as air�察�on a great�察�shining�察�

golden   ball�察  �which   rolled   along   with   her�察  �swifter   than   the   wind。   As   she 

passed the travelers�察�she turned her face to them and smiled。 

     ;Follow me� ─�she said。 

     The lazy man sat down in the grass with a discontented sigh。 ;She has 

an easy time of it� ─�he said。 

     But the industrious man ran after the lovely lady and caught the hem 

of   her   floating   robe   in   his   grasp。   ;Who   are   you�察  �and   whither   are   you 

going�拭─�he asked。 

     ;I   am  the   Fairy  of   Fortune�察─�the   beautiful   lady  said�察  �and   that   is   my 

castle。   You   may   reach   it   to´day�察  �if   you   will�察  �there   is   time�察  �if   you   waste 

none。 If you reach it before the last stroke of midnight�察�I will receive you 

there�察�and will be your friend。 But if you come one second after midnight�察�

it will be too late。;

     When she had said this�察�her robe slipped from the traveler's hand and 

she was gone。 

     The industrious man hurried back to his friend�察�and told him what the 

fairy had said。 

     ;The idea� ─�said the lazy man�察�and he laughed�察 �of course�察�if a body 

had   a   horse   there   would   be   some   chance�察  �but   WALK   all   that   way�拭  �No�察�

thank you� ─�

     ;Then good´by�察─�said his friend�察 �I am off。; And he set out�察�down the 

road toward the shining castle�察�with a good steady stride�察�his eyes straight 

ahead。 

     The lazy man lay down in the soft grass�察�and looked rather wistfully at 

the faraway towers。 ;If I only had a good horse� ─�he sighed。 

     Just   at  that   moment     he   felt  something      warm    nosing    about    at  his 

shoulder�察  �and   heard   a   little   whinny。   He   turned   round�察  �and   there   stood   a 

little horse� �It was a dainty creature�察�gentle´looking�察�and finely built�察�and it 

was saddled and bridled。 

     ;Hola� ─�said the lazy man。 ;Luck often comes when one isn't looking 

for it� ─�And in an instant he had leaped on the horse�察�and headed him for 

the castle of fortune。 The little horse started at a fine pace�察�and in a very 

few minutes they overtook the other traveler�察�plodding along on foot。 

     ;How do you like shank's mare�拭─�laughed the lazy man�察�as he passed 

his friend。 

     The industrious man only nodded�察�and kept on with his steady stride�察�

eyes straight ahead。 

     The   horse   kept   his   good   pace�察  �and   by   noon   the   towers   of   the   castle 

stood out against the sky�察�much nearer and more beautiful。 Exactly at noon�察�

the   horse   turned   aside   from   the   road�察  �into   a   shady   grove   on   a   hill�察  �and 

stopped。 

     ;Wise   beast�察─  �said his   rider�察   ─�haste   makes   waste��'   and   all   things   are 

better in moderation。 I'll follow your example�察�and eat and rest a bit。; He 

dismounted and sat down in the cool moss�察�with his back against a tree。 He 

had a lunch in his traveler's pouch�察�and he ate it comfortably。 Then he felt 

drowsy from the heat and the early ride�察�so he pulled his hat over his eyes�察�

and settled himself for a nap。 ;It will go all the better for a little rest�察─�he 



                                                124

said。 

     That WAS a sleep� �He slept like the seven sleepers�察�and he dreamed 

the most beautiful things you could imagine。 At last�察�he dreamed that he 

had    entered     the  castle   of   fortune    and   was    being   received     with   great 

festivities。  Everything   he   wanted   was brought   to him�察  �and   music   played 

while fireworks were set off in his honor。 The music was so loud that he 

awoke。   He  sat   up�察  �rubbing   his   eyes�察  �and   behold�察  �the   fireworks   were   the 

very last rays of the setting sun�察�and the music was the voice of the other 

traveler�察�passing the grove on foot� �

     ;Time   to   be   off�察─  �said   the   lazy   man�察  �and   looked   about   him   for   the 

pretty horse。 No horse was
