He replied , ` Two miles from this place are standing seven windmills ; see , I am blowing to drive them round . ' ` Oh , go with me , ' said the man ; ` if we four are together we shall easily travel through the wide world . ' So the blower got down and went with him , and after a time they saw a man who was standing on one leg , and had unstrapped the other and laid it near him . Then said the master , ` You have made yourself very comfortable to rest ! ' ' I am a runner , ' answered he ; ` and so that I shall not go too quickly , I have unstrapped one leg ; when I run with two legs , I go faster than a bird flies . ' ` Oh , go with me ; if we five are together , we shall easily travel through the wide world . ' So he went with him , and , not long afterwards , they met a man who wore a little hat , but he had it slouched over one ear . ` Manners , manners ! ' said the master to him ; ` do n't hang your hat over one ear ; you look like a madman ! ' ' I dare not , ' said the other , ` for if I were to put my hat on straight , there would come such a frost that the very birds in the sky would freeze and fall dead on the earth . ' ` Oh , go with me , ' said the master ; ` if we six are together , we shall easily travel through the wide world . Now the Six came to a town in which the King had proclaimed that whoever should run with his daughter in a race , and win , should become her husband ; but if he lost , he must lose his head . This was reported to the man who declared he would compete , ` but , ' he said , ' I shall let my servant run for me . ' The King replied , ` Then both your heads must be staked , and your head and his must be guaranteed for the winner . ' When this was agreed upon and settled , the man strapped on the runner 's other leg , saying to him , ` Now be nimble , and see that we win ! ' It was arranged that whoever should first bring water out of a stream a long way off , should be the victor . Then the runner got a pitcher , and the King 's daughter another , and they began to run at the same time ; but in a moment , when the King 's daughter was only just a little way off , no spectator could see the runner , and it seemed as if the wind had whistled past . In a short time he reached the stream , filled his pitcher with water , and turned round again . But , half way home , a great drowsiness came over him ; he put down his pitcher , lay down , and fell asleep . He had , however , put a horse 's skull which was lying on the ground , for his pillow , so that he should not be too comfortable and might soon wake up .
In the meantime the XXXXX 's daughter , who could also run well , as well as an ordinary man could , reached the stream , and hastened back with her pitcher full of water .
