The Flying Trunk (2) [The Flying Trunk]
The Flying Trunk (2)
His friends did not trouble themselves any more.
They would not even walk down the street with him.
But one of them who was rather good-natured sent him an old trunk with the message, " Pack up ! "
That was all very well, but he had nothing to pack up, so he sat on the trunk.
It was an enchanted trunk, for as soon as the lock was pressed it could fly.
He pressed it, and away he flew in it up the chimney, high into the clouds, further and further away.
But whenever the bottom gave a little creak he was in terror lest the trunk should go to pieces, for then he would have turned a dreadful somersault ー just think of it !
In this way he arrived at the land of the Turks.
He hid the trunk in a wood under some dry leaves, and walked into the town.
