The Tinder Box (5) [The Tinder Box]

The Tinder Box (5)

With all that he could buy up the whole town, and all the sweetthings, all the tin soldiers, whips and rocking-horses in the whole world.

Bow he threw away all the silver with which he had filled his pockets and knapsack, and filled them with gold insteadー yes, all his pockets, his knapsack,cap and boots even, so that he could hardly walk.

Now he was rich indeed.
He put the dog back upon the chest, shut the door, and then called up through the tree: " Now pull me up again, old Witch ! "

" Have you got the tinder box also ? " asked the Witch.

" Botheration ! "said the Soldier, " I had clean forgotten it ! "
And then he went back and fetched it.

The Witch pulled him up, and there he stood again on the high road, with his pockets, knapsack, cap and bootsfilled with gold.

" What do you want to do with the tinder box ? "asked the Soldier.
