` He says you can open the chest in the corner there , and you will see the Devil squatting inside it ; but you must hold the lid so that he shall not escape . ' ` Will you help me to hold him ? ' begged the farmer , going towards the chest where his wife had hidden the real sexton , who was sitting inside in a terrible fright . The farmer opened the lid a little way , and saw him inside . ` Ugh ! ' he shrieked , springing back . ` Yes , now I have seen him ; he looked just like our sexton . Oh , it was horrid ! ' So he had to drink again , and they drank till far on into the night . ` You MUST sell me the wizard , ' said the farmer . ` Ask anything you like ! I will pay you down a bushelful of money on the spot . ' ` No , I really ca n't , ' said Little Klans . ` Just think how many things I can get from this wizard ! ' ` Ah ! I should like to have him so much ! ' said the farmer , begging very hard . ` Well ! ' said Little Klaus at last , ` as you have been so good as to give me shelter to-night , I will sell him . You shall have the wizard for a bushel of money , but I must have full measure . '
` That you shall , ' said the XXXXX .
