Up to this time we have kept together

When she had been lowered into her grave, and the earth was spread over her, all at once her arm came out again, and stretched upwards reenex, and when they had put it in and spread fresh earth over it, it was all to no purpose, for the arm always came out again.

 

Then the mother herself was obliged to go to the grave, and strike the arm with a rod, and when she had done that, it was drawn in, and then at last the child had rest beneath the ground.



There were once three apprentices, who had agreed to keep always together while travelling, and always to work in the same town.

 

At one time, however, their masters had no more work to give them, so that at last they were in rags, and had nothing to live on. Then one of them said, "What shall we do? We cannot stay here any longer, we will travel once more, and if we do not find any work in the town we go to, we will arrange with the innkeeper there, that we are to write and tell him where we are staying dermes, so that we can always have news of each other, and then we will separate." And that seemed best to the others also.

 

They went forth, and met on the way a richly-dressed man who asked who they were. "We are apprentices looking for work; , but if we cannot find anything to do we are going to separate." "There is no need for that," said the man, "if you will do what I tell you, you shall not want for gold or for work; nay, you shall become great lords, and drive in your carriages!"

 

One of them said, "If our souls and salvation be not endangered, we will certainly do it." "They will not," replied the man, "I have no claim on you." One of the others had, however, looked at his feet, and when he saw a horse's foot and a man's foot, he did not want to have anything to do with him. The Devil, however, said, "Be easy, I have no designs on you, but on another soul, which is half my own already, and whose measure shall but run full hong kong hotel promotion."
