1The little man crawled about in the hay-loft, and at last found a snug place to finish his night's rest in; so he laid
2himself down, meaning to sleep till daylight, and then find his way home to his father and mother. But alas! how
3woefully he was undone! what crosses and sorrows happen to us all in this world! The cook got up early, before daybreak,
4to feed the cows; and going straight to the hay-loft, carried away a large bundle of hay, with the little man in the
5middle of it, fast asleep. He still, however, slept on, and did not awake till he found himself in the mouth of the cow;
6for the cook had put the hay into the cow's rick, and the cow had taken Tom up in a mouthful of it. 'Good lack-a-day!'
7said he, 'how came I to tumble into the mill?' But he soon found out where he really was; and was forced to have all his
8wits about him, that he might not get between the cow's teeth, and so be crushed to death. At last down he went into her
9stomach. 'It is rather dark,' said he; 'they forgot to build windows in this room to let the sun in; a candle would be
10no bad thing.' Though he made the best of his bad luck, he did not like his quarters at all; and the worst of it was,
11that more and more hay was always coming down, and the space left for him became smaller and smaller. At last he cried
12out as loud as he could, 'Don't bring me any more hay! Don't bring me any more hay!' The maid happened to be just then
13milking the cow; and hearing someone speak, but seeing nobody, and yet being quite sure it was the same voice that she
14had heard in the night, she was so frightened that she fell off her stool, and overset the milk-pail. As soon as she
15could pick herself up out of the dirt, she ran off as fast as she could to her master the parson, and said, 'Sir, sir,
16the cow is talking!' But the parson said, 'Woman, thou art surely mad!' However, he went with her into the cow-house, to
17try and see what was the matter. Scarcely had they set foot on the threshold, when Tom called out, 'Don't bring me any
18more hay!' Then the parson himself was frightened; and thinking the cow was surely bewitched, told his man to kill her
19on the spot. So the cow was killed, and cut up; and the stomach, in which Tom lay, was thrown out upon a dunghill. Tom
20soon set himself to work to get out, which was not a very easy task; but at last, just as he had made room to get his
21head out, fresh ill-luck befell him. A hungry wolf sprang out, and swallowed up the whole stomach, with Tom in it, at
22one gulp, and ran away. Tom, however, was still not disheartened; and thinking the wolf would not dislike having some
23chat with him as he was going along, he called out, 'My good friend, I can show you a famous treat.' 'Where's that?'
24said the wolf. 'In such and such a house,' said Tom, describing his own father's house. 'You can crawl through the drain
25into the kitchen and then into the pantry, and there you will find cakes, ham, beef, cold chicken, roast pig,
26apple-dumplings, and everything that your heart can wish.' The wolf did not want to be asked twice; so that very night
27he went to the house and crawled through the drain into the kitchen, and then into the pantry, and ate and drank there
28to his heart's content. As soon as he had had enough he wanted to get away; but he had eaten so much that he could not
29go out by the same way he came in. This was just what Tom had reckoned upon; and now he began to set up a great shout,
30making all the noise he could. 'Will you be easy?' said the wolf; 'you'll awaken everybody in the house if you make such
31a clatter.' 'What's that to me?' said the little man; 'you have had your frolic, now I've a mind to be merry myself';
32and he began, singing and shouting as loud as he could. The woodman and his wife, being awakened by the noise, peeped
33through a crack in the door; but when they saw a wolf was there, you may well suppose that they were sadly frightened;
34and the woodman ran for his axe, and gave his wife a scythe. 'Do you stay behind,' said the woodman, 'and when I have
35knocked him on the head you must rip him up with the scythe.' Tom heard all this, and cried out, 'Father, father! I am
36here, the wolf has swallowed me.' And his father said, 'Heaven be praised! we have found our dear child again'; and he
37told his wife not to use the scythe for fear she should hurt him. Then he aimed a great blow, and struck the wolf on the
38head, and killed him on the spot! and when he was dead they cut open his body, and set Tommy free. 'Ah!' said the
39father, 'what fears we have had for you!' 'Yes, father,' answered he; 'I have travelled all over the world, I think, in
40one way or other, since we parted; and now I am very glad to come home and get fresh air again.' 'Why, where have you
41been?' said his father. 'I have been in a mouse-hole--and in a snail-shell--and down a cow's throat--and in the wolf's
42belly; and yet here I am again, safe and sound.' 'Well,' said they, 'you are come back, and we will not sell you again
43for all the riches in the world.' Then they hugged and kissed their dear little son, and gave him plenty to eat and
44drink, for he was very hungry; and then they fetched new clothes for him, for his old ones had been quite spoiled on his
45journey. So Master Thumb stayed at home with his father and mother, in peace; for though he had been so great a
46traveller, and had done and seen so many fine things, and was fond enough of telling the whole story, he always agreed
47that, after all, there's no place like HOME!
