Sleepy Time Story About Little
Boy Who Went on a Journey.
PEOPLE HE MET ON THE WAY.
How He Won Fortune by Following
Advice—'The Queer Happening* That
Ocourred Along the Road—Prooeealon
Followe Him Into the Capital.
I think, said Uncle Ben to Little Ned
and Polly Ann, I shall tell you the
etory of
THE GOOSE BOY.
In the heart of a very old wood there
once lived a boy named Hans.
Hans had no parents, and the people
with whom he lived did not treat htm
well. When he was old enough he
packed all be owned Into a big red cot
ton handkerchief and started out to
moke his way la the world.
He had not gone far when he met a
little old woman for whom he had once
done a kindness.
"Where are you going, little nans?"
"Out Into the world to make my for
tune," he replied.
"Very well. Terhaps 1 can help you
a little with that," said the old woman.
"Walk straight on over y<>n hill till you
come to two roads that cross, t'uder
an oak tree this evening you will find a
man asleep. Tied to the tree you will
see a fat goose. Untie it and lead It
away. Should any one ask you for a
feather from this flue fowl tell that
person to take It. If the bird cries out
you must say, "Iloid fast.' Then, no
matter who they are. they must follow
the goose. By and by, if you keep to
the road on the right, you will reach a
line big town In which Is a big castle
Lead your goose and ull who may fol
low him right pest the castle gate, and
I am sore your fortune will be made.
When you wish to free the people who
follow the goose, touch them with this
wand."
Hans did as he was told. He found
the goose and led it off. Soon he had a
line of queer people following the fat
fowl. There were a vain young girl
who had asked for a feather; her lover,
who tried to pull her away from the
goose: his mother, who wished to set
him free: the fat mayor of a town, his
wife and the village chimney sweep,
with many others.
When the queer procession reached
the big town Hans led his goose right
up the street toward the castle. A. car.
rlage was coming out of the gate and
In It the loveliest young girl he had
ever seen. When she saw the goose
and the queer train hurrying after It
she laughed heartily.
The laughter reached the ears of the
king and queen, who were In the castle
garden, and they Lurried out to see
what was the mutter.
The princess had long tieen a sufferer
from melancholy, and the king had
promised to make rich the first person
who should mako her laugh.
So Hans' fortune was made. He
touched each of the persons who fol
lowed the goose with the wand the old
woman had given him. and they ran
home as fast as they could.
And Ilans se:it a handsome present
to the old woman who had made his
fortune.
