1Then the peasants were vexed that the small peasant should have thus outwitted them, wanted to take vengeance on him,
2and accused him of this treachery before the mayor. The innocent little peasant was unanimously sentenced to death, and
3was to be rolled into the water, in a barrel pierced full of holes. He was led forth, and a priest was brought who was
4to say a mass for his soul. The others were all obliged to retire to a distance, and when the peasant looked at the
5priest, he recognized the man who had been with the miller's wife. He said to him: 'I set you free from the closet, set
6me free from the barrel.' At this same moment up came, with a flock of sheep, the very shepherd whom the peasant knew
7had long been wishing to be mayor, so he cried with all his might: 'No, I will not do it; if the whole world insists on
8it, I will not do it!' The shepherd hearing that, came up to him, and asked: 'What are you about? What is it that you
9will not do?' The peasant said: 'They want to make me mayor, if I will but put myself in the barrel, but I will not do
10it.' The shepherd said: 'If nothing more than that is needful in order to be mayor, I would get into the barrel at
11once.' The peasant said: 'If you will get in, you will be mayor.' The shepherd was willing, and got in, and the peasant
12shut the top down on him; then he took the shepherd's flock for himself, and drove it away. The parson went to the
13crowd, and declared that the mass had been said. Then they came and rolled the barrel towards the water. When the barrel
14began to roll, the shepherd cried: 'I am quite willing to be mayor.' They believed no otherwise than that it was the
15peasant who was saying this, and answered: 'That is what we intend, but first you shall look about you a little down
16below there,' and they rolled the barrel down into the water. After that the peasants went home, and as they were
17entering the village, the small peasant also came quietly in, driving a flock of sheep and looking quite contented. Then
18the peasants were astonished, and said: 'Peasant, from whence do you come? Have you come out of the water?' 'Yes,
19truly,' replied the peasant, 'I sank deep, deep down, until at last I got to the bottom; I pushed the bottom out of the
20barrel, and crept out, and there were pretty meadows on which a number of lambs were feeding, and from thence I brought
21this flock away with me.' Said the peasants: 'Are there any more there?' 'Oh, yes,' said he, 'more than I could want.'
22Then the peasants made up their minds that they too would fetch some sheep for themselves, a flock apiece, but the mayor
23said: 'I come first.' So they went to the water together, and just then there were some of the small fleecy clouds in
24the blue sky, which are called little lambs, and they were reflected in the water, whereupon the peasants cried: 'We
25already see the sheep down below!' The mayor pressed forward and said: 'I will go down first, and look about me, and if
26things promise well I'll call you.' So he jumped in; splash! went the water; it sounded as if he were calling them, and
27the whole crowd plunged in after him as one man. Then the entire village was dead, and the small peasant, as sole heir,
28became a rich man.
