When his brother heard about this

??


when
his brother heard about this, he said to himself, i do not know
why my brother has become rich. i must find the reason for his
riches.
for a long time he tried to find the reason, but he
could not. but one day he gave a servant some money and ordered him
to watch the house of his brother at night. that night, the servant
looked through the window and saw the family standing round the mill,
which was working. he went back and told what he had seen.
the
next day the brother got in his boat and sailed across the water. he
said to his brother, i see that you are now quite rich, and i
know the reason. you have a little magic mill. sell it to me. how
much money do you want for it?
i cannot sell it,
said the poor man. it must never leave my hands. the old man
said, there will be great danger if you sell it or give it to any
other person. that is what he said.
then the rich brother
sailed away home. but later, one dark night, he came back, went very
quietly into the house, and stole the mill. he quickly carried it to
the sea, where his boat was waiting. the n he sailed away to his
island.
but the bad brother wanted very much to make the mill
work. he did not wait until he reached home. while he was sailing in
the boat, he tried to make it work.
salt, he said.
salt is what i sell, and salt is what i want. then he
began to turn the mill.
then salt bean to come out of the mill. he
laughed and began to sing. masses of salt came out and began to fill
the boat. the boat became low in the water. he tried to throw some of
the salt into the sea. but more came in, masses of it. he stopped
laughing and singing. then he began to be afraid.
more salt came
out of the mill, and soon the boat was full of it. then water came in
and filled the boat. the boat went down, down to the bottom of the
sea, carrying with it the thief and the magic mill.
there, at the
bottom of the sea, the mill is still turning, making more and more
salt.
that is the reason (some people say) why the water of the
sea is salty.
a
soldier came marching along the high road: ??left, right??left,
right.?? he had his knapsack on his back, and a sword at his side;
he had been to the wars, and was now returning home.
as he walked
on, he met a very frightful-looking old witch in the road. her
under-lip hung quite down on her breast, and she stopped and said,
??good evening, soldier; you have a very fine sword, and a large
knapsack, and you are a real soldier; so you shall have as much money
as ever you like.??
??thank you, old witch,?? said the
soldier.
??do you see that large tree,?? said the witch,
pointing to a tree which stood beside them. ??well, it is quite
hollow inside, and you must climb to the top, when you will see a
hole, through which you can let yourself down into the tree to a
great depth. i will tie a rope round your body, so that i can pull
you up again when you call out to me.??
??but what am i to do,
down there in the tree??? asked the soldier.
