1The duck came to them, and Hansel seated himself on its back, and told his sister to sit by him. 'No,' replied Gretel,
2'that will be too heavy for the little duck; she shall take us across, one after the other.' The good little duck did
3so, and when they were once safely across and had walked for a short time, the forest seemed to be more and more
4familiar to them, and at length they saw from afar their father's house. Then they began to run, rushed into the
5parlour, and threw themselves round their father's neck. The man had not known one happy hour since he had left the
6children in the forest; the woman, however, was dead. Gretel emptied her pinafore until pearls and precious stones ran
7about the room, and Hansel threw one handful after another out of his pocket to add to them. Then all anxiety was at an
8end, and they lived together in perfect happiness. My tale is done, there runs a mouse; whosoever catches it, may make
9himself a big fur cap out of it. THE MOUSE, THE BIRD, AND THE SAUSAGE Once upon a time, a mouse, a bird, and a sausage,
10entered into partnership and set up house together. For a long time all went well; they lived in great comfort, and
11prospered so far as to be able to add considerably to their stores. The bird's duty was to fly daily into the wood and
12bring in fuel; the mouse fetched the water, and the sausage saw to the cooking. When people are too well off they always
13begin to long for something new. And so it came to pass, that the bird, while out one day, met a fellow bird, to whom he
14boastfully expatiated on the excellence of his household arrangements. But the other bird sneered at him for being a
15poor simpleton, who did all the hard work, while the other two stayed at home and had a good time of it. For, when the
16mouse had made the fire and fetched in the water, she could retire into her little room and rest until it was time to
17set the table. The sausage had only to watch the pot to see that the food was properly cooked, and when it was near
18dinner-time, he just threw himself into the broth, or rolled in and out among the vegetables three or four times, and
19there they were, buttered, and salted, and ready to be served. Then, when the bird came home and had laid aside his
20burden, they sat down to table, and when they had finished their meal, they could sleep their fill till the following
21morning: and that was really a very delightful life. Influenced by those remarks, the bird next morning refused to bring
22in the wood, telling the others that he had been their servant long enough, and had been a fool into the bargain, and
23that it was now time to make a change, and to try some other way of arranging the work. Beg and pray as the mouse and
24the sausage might, it was of no use; the bird remained master of the situation, and the venture had to be made. They
25therefore drew lots, and it fell to the sausage to bring in the wood, to the mouse to cook, and to the bird to fetch the
26water. And now what happened? The sausage started in search of wood, the bird made the fire, and the mouse put on the
27pot, and then these two waited till the sausage returned with the fuel for the following day. But the sausage remained
28so long away, that they became uneasy, and the bird flew out to meet him. He had not flown far, however, when he came
29across a dog who, having met the sausage, had regarded him as his legitimate booty, and so seized and swallowed him. The
30bird complained to the dog of this bare-faced robbery, but nothing he said was of any avail, for the dog answered that
31he found false credentials on the sausage, and that was the reason his life had been forfeited. He picked up the wood,
32and flew sadly home, and told the mouse all he had seen and heard. They were both very unhappy, but agreed to make the
33best of things and to remain with one another. So now the bird set the table, and the mouse looked after the food and,
34wishing to prepare it in the same way as the sausage, by rolling in and out among the vegetables to salt and butter
35them, she jumped into the pot; but she stopped short long before she reached the bottom, having already parted not only
36with her skin and hair, but also with life. Presently the bird came in and wanted to serve up the dinner, but he could
37nowhere see the cook. In his alarm and flurry, he threw the wood here and there about the floor, called and searched,
38but no cook was to be found. Then some of the wood that had been carelessly thrown down, caught fire and began to blaze.
39The bird hastened to fetch some water, but his pail fell into the well, and he after it, and as he was unable to recover
40himself, he was drowned.
