` However , it is better than nothing , and I will bake him with bread crumbs and have him for supper . ' ` Oh , do not kill me yet ! ' begged the fish ; ' I will bring you good luck -- indeed I will ! ' ` You silly thing ! ' said the young man ; ` I 've caught you , and I shall eat you . ' But his brother was sorry for the fish , and put in a word for him . ` Let the poor little fellow live . He would hardly make one bite , and , after all , how do we know we are not throwing away our luck ! Put him back into the sea . It will be much better . ' ` If you will let me live , ' said the fish , ` you will find on the sands to-morrow morning two beautiful horses splendidly saddled and bridled , and on them you can go through the world as knights seeking adventures . ' ` Oh dear , what nonsense ! ' exclaimed the elder ; ` and , besides , what proof have we that you are speaking the truth ? ' But again the younger brother interposed : ` Oh , do let him live ! You know if he is lying to us we can always catch him again . It is quite worth while trying . ' At last the young man gave in , and threw the fish back into the sea ; and both brothers went supperless to bed , and wondered what fortune the next day would bring . At the first streaks of dawn they were both up , and in a very few minutes were running down to the shore . And there , just as the fish had said , stood two magnificent horses , saddled and bridled , and on their backs lay suits of armour and under-dresses , two swords , and two purses of gold . ` There ! '
