` We will both get it , ' answered the boy ; ` come , uncle , let us go and fetch that straw ! ' ` All right , ' replied the uncle , and they went to the door of the room . ` It seems very dark , ' said the boy ; ' I must go and get a light ; ' and when he came back with one , he set fire to the straw , and the serpent was burnt . Then the mother broke into sobs and tears . ` Oh , you wretched boy ! What have you done ? Your father was in that straw , and you have killed him ! ' ` Now , how was I to know that my father was lying in that straw , instead of in the kitchen ? ' said the boy . But his mother only wept the more , and sobbed out , ` From this day you have no father . You must do without him as best you can ! ' ` Why did you marry a serpent ? ' asked the boy . ' I thought he was a man ! How did he learn those odd tricks ? ' As the sun rose , she woke her brother , and said , ` Go and take the goats to pasture ! ' ' I will come too , ' said the little boy . ` Go then ! ' said his mother , and they went together . On the way the boy began : ` Dear uncle , this night my mother means to kill both of us , by poisoning us with the bones of the serpent , which she will grind to powder and sprinkle in our food . '
` And what are we XXXXX do ? '
