The dream-boy had tied him with a chain of flowers , so that he could not move . And now all the little dreams came about him , thousands and thousands of little children , and they made a ring around him and sang a little song : The world is very , very wide , Little Lasse , Lasse , And though you 've sailed beyond the tide , You can never tell how wide It is on the other side , Lasse , Little Lasse . You have found it cold and hot , Little Lasse , Lasse ; But in no land is God not , Lasse , Little Lasse . Many men live there as here , But they all to God are dear , Little Lasse , Lasse . When His angel is your guide , Little Lasse , Lasse , Then no harm can e'er betide , Even on the other side Where the wild beasts wander . But tell us now , Whene'er you roam , Do you not find the best is home Of all the lands you 've looked upon , Lasse , Little Lasse ? When the dreams had sung their song they skipped away , and Nukku Matti carried Lasse back to the boat . He lay there for a long time quite still , and he still heard the frying-pan frizzling at home of the fire , the frizzling was very plain , Little Lasse heard it quite near him ; and so he woke up and rubbed his eyes . There he lay in the boat , where he had fallen asleep . The wind had turned , and the boat had drifted out with one wind and drifted in with another while Little Lasse slept , and what Lasse thought was frizzling in a frying-pan was the low murmur of the waves as they washed against the stones on the shore . But he was not altogether wrong , for the clear blue sea is like a great pan in which God 's sun all day makes cakes for good children . Little Lasse rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and looked around him . Everything was the same as before ; the crow in the birch tree , the cat on the grass , and the pea-shell fleet on the shore . Some of the ships had foundered , and some had drifted back to land . Hercules had come back with its cargo from Asia , The Flea had arrived from Polynesia , and the other parts of the world were just where they were before . Little Lasse did not know what to think . He had so often been in that grotto in the ` Land of Nod ' and did not know what tricks dreams can play . But Little Lasse did not trouble his head with such things ; he gathered together his boats and walked up the shore back to the house . His brother and sister ran to meet him , and called out from the distance , ` Where have you been so long , Lasse ? Come home and get some bread-and-butter . '
The kitchen door stood open , and inside was XXXXX a strange frizzling .
