The Devil with the Three Golden Hairs (2) [Three Golden Hair Devil]

The Devil with the Three Golden Hairs (2)

The mother would not have it, but her husband said, " If the boy is, indeed,  a child of great fortune ,  perhaps the fortune should start with us. "

He took te king's money and handed him the child.

The king put the baby in a wooden box and rode off.

When he came to a great wide river, he threw the box in.

" There, " he cried.
" Now you will not get the chance to marry my daughter. "

And away he went without a moment's trouble on his conscience.

But the box did not sink.
Instead, it floated along till it came to halt at a milldam.

As luck would have it, the miller's apprentice saw it there and, hoping it contained a treasure, pulled the box out with a hook.

What a surprise greeted him !
Instead of a treasure, there was a brand-new baby boy sleeping there, his thumb in his mouth like a cork in a bottle.

Since his master had no children of his own and had long wanted a son, the miller's apprentice took the baby to him.

The miller's wife grabbed up the infant and held him tight.
" God has given him to us, " she said.
" What a great fortune ! "
