Why the Sea is Salt (7)

Why the Sea is Salt (7)

It was evening when the rich man got the mill home.

And in the morning he told his wife to go out and spread the hay after the mowers, and he would attend to the house himself that day.

So when dinner time drew near, he set the mill down on the kitchen table.

He said to the mill, " Grind herrings and porridge, and do it both quickly and well. "

So the mill began to grind herrings and porridge, and first all the dishes and tubs were filled, and then it came out all over the kitchen floor.

The man twisted and turned it, and did all he could to make the mill stop, but, however he turned it  and screwed it, the mill went on grinding.

In a short time, the porridge rose so high that the man was in danger of drowning.
