And then he set the dog on the apron . When he saw all the silver in the chest , he threw away the copper he had taken , and filled his pockets and knapsack with nothing but silver . Then he went into the third room . Horrors ! the dog there had two eyes , each as large as the Round Tower at Copenhagen , spinning round in his head like wheels . ` Good evening ! ' said the Soldier and saluted , for he had never seen a dog like this before . But when he had examined him more closely , he thought to himself : ` Now then , I 've had enough of this ! ' and put him down on the floor , and opened the chest . Heavens ! what a heap of gold there was ! With all that he could buy up the whole town , and all the sugar pigs , all the tin soldiers , whips and rocking-horses in the whole world . Now he threw away all the silver with which he had filled his pockets and knapsack , and filled them with gold instead -- yes , all his pockets , his knapsack , cap and boots even , so that he could hardly walk . Now he was rich indeed . He put the dog back upon the chest , shut the door , and then called up through the tree : ` Now pull me up again , old Witch ! ' ` Have you got the tinder-box also ? ' asked the Witch . ` Botheration ! ' said the Soldier , ' I had clean forgotten it ! ' And then he went back and fetched it .
The Witch pulled him up , and there he stood again on the high road , with XXXXX , knapsack , cap and boots filled with gold .
