In the North Sea lies a dead sea-cat -- that shall be their roast meat ; and the rib of a whale -- that shall be their silver spoon ; and the hollow foot of a dead horse -- that shall be their wineglass . ' When the Dragon had gone to bed , his old grandmother pulled up the stone and let out the soldier . ` Did you pay attention to everything ? ' ` Yes , ' he replied , ' I know enough , and can help myself splendidly . ' Then he went by another way through the window secretly , and in all haste back to his comrades . He told them how the Dragon had been outwitted by his grandmother , and how he had heard from his own lips the answer to the riddle . Then they were all delighted and in high spirits , took out their whip , and cracked so much money that it came jumping up from the ground . When the seven years had quite gone , the Fiend came with his book , and , pointing at the signatures , said , ' I will take you underground with me ; you shall have a meal there . If you can tell me what you will get for your roast meat , you shall be free , and shall also keep the whip . ' Then said the first soldier , ` In the North Sea lies a dead sea-cat ; that shall be the roast meat . ' The Dragon was much annoyed , and hummed and hawed a good deal , and asked the second , ` But what shall be your spoon ? ' ` The rib of a whale shall be our silver spoon . ' The Dragon-made a face , and growled again three times , ` Hum , hum , hum , ' and said to the third , ` Do you know what your wineglass shall be ? ' ` An old horse 's hoof shall be our wineglass . ' Then the Dragon flew away with a loud shriek , and had no more power over them . But the three soldiers took the little whip , whipped as much money as they wanted , and lived happily to their lives end . THE DONKEY CABBAGE There was once a young Hunter who went boldly into the forest . He had a merry and light heart , and as he went whistling along there came an ugly old woman , who said to him , ` Good-day , dear hunter ! You are very merry and contented , but I suffer hunger and thirst , so give me a trifle . ' The Hunter was sorry for the poor old woman , and he felt in his pocket and gave her all he could spare .
He was going on then , but the old woman stopped him and said , ` Listen , dear XXXXX , to what I say .
