1Then a man entered who was taller than all others, and looked terrible. He was old, however, and had a long white beard.
2'You wretch,' cried he, 'you shall soon learn what it is to shudder, for you shall die.' 'Not so fast,' replied the
3youth. 'If I am to die, I shall have to have a say in it.' 'I will soon seize you,' said the fiend. 'Softly, softly, do
4not talk so big. I am as strong as you are, and perhaps even stronger.' 'We shall see,' said the old man. 'If you are
5stronger, I will let you go--come, we will try.' Then he led him by dark passages to a smith's forge, took an axe, and
6with one blow struck an anvil into the ground. 'I can do better than that,' said the youth, and went to the other anvil.
7The old man placed himself near and wanted to look on, and his white beard hung down. Then the youth seized the axe,
8split the anvil with one blow, and in it caught the old man's beard. 'Now I have you,' said the youth. 'Now it is your
9turn to die.' Then he seized an iron bar and beat the old man till he moaned and entreated him to stop, when he would
10give him great riches. The youth drew out the axe and let him go. The old man led him back into the castle, and in a
11cellar showed him three chests full of gold. 'Of these,' said he, 'one part is for the poor, the other for the king, the
12third yours.' In the meantime it struck twelve, and the spirit disappeared, so that the youth stood in darkness. 'I
13shall still be able to find my way out,' said he, and felt about, found the way into the room, and slept there by his
14fire. Next morning the king came and said: 'Now you must have learnt what shuddering is?' 'No,' he answered; 'what can
15it be? My dead cousin was here, and a bearded man came and showed me a great deal of money down below, but no one told
16me what it was to shudder.' 'Then,' said the king, 'you have saved the castle, and shall marry my daughter.' 'That is
17all very well,' said he, 'but still I do not know what it is to shudder!' Then the gold was brought up and the wedding
18celebrated; but howsoever much the young king loved his wife, and however happy he was, he still said always: 'If I
19could but shudder--if I could but shudder.' And this at last angered her. Her waiting-maid said: 'I will find a cure for
20him; he shall soon learn what it is to shudder.' She went out to the stream which flowed through the garden, and had a
21whole bucketful of gudgeons brought to her. At night when the young king was sleeping, his wife was to draw the clothes
22off him and empty the bucket full of cold water with the gudgeons in it over him, so that the little fishes would sprawl
23about him. Then he woke up and cried: 'Oh, what makes me shudder so?--what makes me shudder so, dear wife? Ah! now I
24know what it is to shudder!'
