Their old father gave each of them a fine horse ; the one who knew the dictionary and the daily paper by heart had a black horse , while the other who was so clever at corporation law had a milk-white one .

' ` Oh , oh ! ' said Blockhead-Hans . ` Where are you off to ? You are in your Sunday-best clothes ! ' ` We are going to Court , to woo the Princess ! Do n't you know what is known throughout all the country side ? ' And they told him all about it . ` Hurrah ! I 'll go to ! ' cried Blockhead-Hans ; and the brothers laughed at him and rode off . ` Dear father ! ' cried Blockhead-Hans , ' I must have a horse too . What a desire for marriage has seized me ! If she will have me , she WILL have me , and if she wo n't have me , I will have her . ' ` Stop that nonsense ! ' said the old man . '
