I shall only be tired , dragging it along ; I will throw it into the river . If it swims home to me , well and good ; and if it does n't , it 's no matter . ' Then he took the chest with one hand and lifted it up a little , as if he were going to throw it into the water . ` No , do n't do that ! ' called out the sexton in the chest . ` Let me get out first ! ' ` Oh , oh ! ' said Little Klaus , pretending that he was afraid . ` He is still in there ! I must throw him quickly into the water to drown him ! ' ` Oh ! no , no ! ' cried the sexton . ' I will give you a whole bushelful of money if you will let me go ! ' ` Ah , that 's quite another thing ! ' said Little Klaus , opening the chest . The sexton crept out very quickly , pushed the empty chest into the water and went to his house , where he gave Little Klaus a bushel of money . One he had had already from the farmer , and now he had his wheelbarrow full of money . ` Well , I have got a good price for the horse ! ' said he to himself when he shook all his money out in a heap in his room .
` This will put Big Klaus in a rage when he hears how rich I have become through my one XXXXX ; but I wo n't tell him just yet ! '
