~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,868 ~ ~ ~
[Illustration: And That Was the End] BLOCKHEAD-HANS Far away in the country lay an old manor-house where lived an old squire who had two sons.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,878 ~ ~ ~
All the servants stood in the courtyard and saw them mount their steeds, and here by chance came the third brother; for the squire had three sons, but nobody counted him with his brothers, for he was not so learned as they were, and he was generally called 'Blockhead-Hans.'
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,879 ~ ~ ~
'Oh, oh!' said Blockhead-Hans.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,886 ~ ~ ~
I'll go too!' cried Blockhead-Hans; and the brothers laughed at him and rode off.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,887 ~ ~ ~
'Dear father!' cried Blockhead-Hans, 'I must have a horse too.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,896 ~ ~ ~
[Illustration: Then They Oiled the Corners of Their Mouths] 'Well,' said Blockhead-Hans, 'if I can't have a horse, I will take the goat which is mine; he can carry me!'
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,901 ~ ~ ~
'Here I come!' shouted Blockhead-Hans, singing so that the echoes were roused far and near.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,904 ~ ~ ~
'Hullo!' bawled Blockhead-Hans, 'here I am!
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,907 ~ ~ ~
'Blockhead!' said his brothers, 'what are you going to do with it?'
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,917 ~ ~ ~
'Blockhead!' said they, 'that is an old wooden shoe without the top!
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,919 ~ ~ ~
'Of course I shall!' returned Blockhead-Hans; and the brothers laughed and rode on a good way.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,922 ~ ~ ~
here I am!' cried Blockhead-Hans; better and better--it is really famous!'
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,924 ~ ~ ~
'Oh,' said Blockhead-Hans, 'it is really too good!
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,927 ~ ~ ~
'Of course it is!' said Blockhead-Hans, 'and it is the best kind!
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,929 ~ ~ ~
But the brothers rode on so fast that dust and sparks flew all around, and they reached the gate of the town a good hour before Blockhead-Hans.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,956 ~ ~ ~
Now Blockhead-Hans came in; he rode his goat right into the hall.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,961 ~ ~ ~
'That's good!' replied Blockhead-Hans; 'then can I roast a crow with them?'
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,965 ~ ~ ~
said Blockhead-Hans That was neatly done!
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,966 ~ ~ ~
said the Princess] 'Oh, rather!' said Blockhead-Hans.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,969 ~ ~ ~
'I've got that in my pocket!' said Blockhead-Hans.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,973 ~ ~ ~
By each window do you see there are standing three reporters and an old editor, and this old editor is the worst, for he doesn't understand anything!' but she only said this to tease Blockhead-Hans.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,976 ~ ~ ~
are those the great people?' said Blockhead-Hans.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,981 ~ ~ ~
Blockhead-Hans became King, got a wife and a crown, and sat on the throne; and this we have still damp from the newspaper of the editor and the reporters--and they are not to be believed for a moment.
