1When the day dawned, therefore, the boy put his fifty talers into his pocket, and went forth on the great highway, and
2continually said to himself: 'If I could but shudder! If I could but shudder!' Then a man approached who heard this
3conversation which the youth was holding with himself, and when they had walked a little farther to where they could see
4the gallows, the man said to him: 'Look, there is the tree where seven men have married the ropemaker's daughter, and
5are now learning how to fly. Sit down beneath it, and wait till night comes, and you will soon learn how to shudder.'
6'If that is all that is wanted,' answered the youth, 'it is easily done; but if I learn how to shudder as fast as that,
7you shall have my fifty talers. Just come back to me early in the morning.' Then the youth went to the gallows, sat down
8beneath it, and waited till evening came. And as he was cold, he lighted himself a fire, but at midnight the wind blew
9so sharply that in spite of his fire, he could not get warm. And as the wind knocked the hanged men against each other,
10and they moved backwards and forwards, he thought to himself: 'If you shiver below by the fire, how those up above must
11freeze and suffer!' And as he felt pity for them, he raised the ladder, and climbed up, unbound one of them after the
12other, and brought down all seven. Then he stoked the fire, blew it, and set them all round it to warm themselves. But
13they sat there and did not stir, and the fire caught their clothes. So he said: 'Take care, or I will hang you up
14again.' The dead men, however, did not hear, but were quite silent, and let their rags go on burning. At this he grew
15angry, and said: 'If you will not take care, I cannot help you, I will not be burnt with you,' and he hung them up again
16each in his turn. Then he sat down by his fire and fell asleep, and the next morning the man came to him and wanted to
17have the fifty talers, and said: 'Well do you know how to shudder?' 'No,' answered he, 'how should I know? Those fellows
18up there did not open their mouths, and were so stupid that they let the few old rags which they had on their bodies get
19burnt.' Then the man saw that he would not get the fifty talers that day, and went away saying: 'Such a youth has never
20come my way before.' The youth likewise went his way, and once more began to mutter to himself: 'Ah, if I could but
21shudder! Ah, if I could but shudder!' A waggoner who was striding behind him heard this and asked: 'Who are you?' 'I
22don't know,' answered the youth. Then the waggoner asked: 'From whence do you come?' 'I know not.' 'Who is your father?'
23'That I may not tell you.' 'What is it that you are always muttering between your teeth?' 'Ah,' replied the youth, 'I do
24so wish I could shudder, but no one can teach me how.' 'Enough of your foolish chatter,' said the waggoner. 'Come, go
25with me, I will see about a place for you.' The youth went with the waggoner, and in the evening they arrived at an inn
26where they wished to pass the night. Then at the entrance of the parlour the youth again said quite loudly: 'If I could
27but shudder! If I could but shudder!' The host who heard this, laughed and said: 'If that is your desire, there ought to
28be a good opportunity for you here.' 'Ah, be silent,' said the hostess, 'so many prying persons have already lost their
29lives, it would be a pity and a shame if such beautiful eyes as these should never see the daylight again.' But the
30youth said: 'However difficult it may be, I will learn it. For this purpose indeed have I journeyed forth.' He let the
31host have no rest, until the latter told him, that not far from thence stood a haunted castle where anyone could very
32easily learn what shuddering was, if he would but watch in it for three nights. The king had promised that he who would
33venture should have his daughter to wife, and she was the most beautiful maiden the sun shone on. Likewise in the castle
34lay great treasures, which were guarded by evil spirits, and these treasures would then be freed, and would make a poor
35man rich enough. Already many men had gone into the castle, but as yet none had come out again. Then the youth went next
36morning to the king, and said: 'If it be allowed, I will willingly watch three nights in the haunted castle.' The king
37looked at him, and as the youth pleased him, he said: 'You may ask for three things to take into the castle with you,
38but they must be things without life.' Then he answered: 'Then I ask for a fire, a turning lathe, and a cutting-board
39with the knife.'
