The Fairy's Two Gifts (10)

  The rich man had obtained his desire, and he rode homewards, thinking deeply of what the wishes should be.

  He allowed the bride to hang so loosely that his horse began to dance about till his thoughts were all so scattered that he could not collect them again.

  He struck the horse and said, " Be quiet, Bess, " but the animal pranced and reared till he was nearly thrown off.

  At last he became angry, and cried out, " What do you mean by it ? I wish your meck was broken. "

  No sooner had he spoken the words than his horse fell under him, and lay dead, and so was his first wish fulfilled.

  He was a greedy man and so he would not leave the saddle and bride behind him.

  He cut the straps, hung them on his back, and prepared to walk home.
  " We have still two wishes remaining, " he said, and comforted himself with the thought.
