~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,765 ~ ~ ~

She decided to buy a strong ass to do the work, and having chosen one, and after some bargaining with the owner as to its price, she went to the cupboard in the wall to fetch the money.

~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,047 ~ ~ ~

When she came to the surface screaming and struggling, the vengeful cat seized her again and rolled her in the ash-heap on the floor; then when she rose, dirty, blinded, and disgusting to behold, he thrust her from the door, saying: 'Begone, and when you meet a braying ass be careful to turn your head towards it.'

~ ~ ~ Sentence 3,633 ~ ~ ~

If not I will transform you into an ass, and heavy loads shall be piled on your back, and men shall ride you.

~ ~ ~ Sentence 3,639 ~ ~ ~

Truly, he was an ass; and a very ugly one, too!

~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,796 ~ ~ ~

BLOCKHEAD HANS [313] Far away in the country lay an old manor-house where lived an old squire who had two sons.

~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,806 ~ ~ ~

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 4,807 ~ ~ ~

'Oh, oh!' said Blockhead-Hans.

~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,814 ~ ~ ~

I'll go too!' cried Blockhead-Hans; and the brothers laughed at him and rode off.

~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,815 ~ ~ ~

'Dear father!' cried Blockhead-Hans, 'I must have a horse too.

~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,824 ~ ~ ~

'Well,' said Blockhead-Hans, 'if I can't have a horse, I will take the goat which is mine; he can carry me!'

~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,829 ~ ~ ~

'Here I come!' shouted Blockhead-Hans, singing so that the echoes were roused far and near.

~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,832 ~ ~ ~

'Hullo!' bawled Blockhead-Hans, 'here I am!

~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,835 ~ ~ ~

'Blockhead!' said his brothers, 'what are you going to do with it?'

~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,845 ~ ~ ~

'Blockhead!' said they, 'that is an old wooden shoe without the top!

~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,847 ~ ~ ~

'Of course I shall!' returned Blockhead-Hans; and the brothers laughed and rode on a good way.

~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,850 ~ ~ ~

here I am!' cried Blockhead-Hans; better and better-it is really famous!'

~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,852 ~ ~ ~

'Oh,' said [316] Blockhead-Hans, 'it is really too good!

~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,855 ~ ~ ~

'Of course it is!' said Blockhead-Hans, 'and it is the best kind!

~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,857 ~ ~ ~

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 4,884 ~ ~ ~

Now Blockhead-Hans came in; he rode his goat right into the hall.

~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,889 ~ ~ ~

'That's good!' replied Blockhead-Hans; 'then can I roast a crow with them?'

~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,893 ~ ~ ~

said Blockhead-Hans That was neatly done!

~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,894 ~ ~ ~

said the Princess 'Oh, rather!' said Blockhead-Hans.

~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,897 ~ ~ ~

'I've got that in my pocket!' said Blockhead-Hans.

~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,901 ~ ~ ~

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 4,904 ~ ~ ~

are those the great people?' said Blockhead-Hans.

~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,909 ~ ~ ~

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.

~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,205 ~ ~ ~

But, in reality, he was carried down, half drowned, below the next bend in the river, where he fortunately came across a 'snag' floating in the water (a snag is, you know, a part of a tree or bush which floats very nearly under the surface of the water); and he held on to this snag, and by great good luck eventually came ashore some two or three miles down the river.

~ ~ ~ Sentence 3,942 ~ ~ ~

This time it is the old ass!

~ ~ ~ Sentence 2,527 ~ ~ ~

She was just crossing the bridge when, suddenly, she knocked up against a human head, which she had never seen there before.

~ ~ ~ Sentence 3,645 ~ ~ ~

The gnome, however, set off above ground as speedily as possible, and disguising himself as a farmer, bought an ass in the nearest market-town, and brought it back loaded with sacks of turnip, carrot, and radish seed.

~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,905 ~ ~ ~

What kind of a thing is that, master?" said the Prince, making himself look as stupid as an ass; "I should like to see that."

~ ~ ~ Sentence 3,013 ~ ~ ~

In this situation, and fainting for want of food, he laid himself down at the door of one Mr. Fitzwarren, a merchant, where the cook saw him, and, being an ill-natured hussy, ordered him to go about his business or she would scald him.

~ ~ ~ Sentence 3,785 ~ ~ ~

"Crazy blockheads!" snapped the dwarf; "what's the good of calling anyone else?

~ ~ ~ Sentence 3,814 ~ ~ ~

You have torn my thin little coat all to shreds, useless, awkward hussies that you are!"

~ ~ ~ Sentence 3,942 ~ ~ ~

"You shall go, hussy!" said the mother; "and this minute."

~ ~ ~ Sentence 3,952 ~ ~ ~

"Well, mother?" answered the pert hussy, throwing out of her mouth two vipers and two toads.

~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,752 ~ ~ ~

So the lazy girl came home all covered with pitch, and when the old hen on the top of the wall saw her, it called out: 'Click, clock, clack, Our dirty slut's come back.'

~ ~ ~ Sentence 3,339 ~ ~ ~

She then came to him, dragging a shaggy little grey ass with long ears.

~ ~ ~ Sentence 43 ~ ~ ~

BLOCKHEAD-HANS Far away in the country lay an old manor-house where lived an old squire who had two sons.

~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,778 ~ ~ ~

~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,779 ~ ~ ~

'Oh, oh!' said Blockhead-Hans.

With a second, split its head in two, and in its brain you will see a bright red ball.

~ ~ ~ Sentence 3,029 ~ ~ ~

As it is, you must be constantly knocking up against things.'

~ ~ ~ Sentence 645 ~ ~ ~

It has hands like a woman, feet like a woman, the body of a woman; but its head is the head of an ass, and its hair is fur."'

~ ~ ~ Sentence 658 ~ ~ ~

When did I ever give birth to an ass?'

~ ~ ~ Sentence 738 ~ ~ ~

And Dschemila took the mirror and looked into it, and combed her hair with the comb, and she had no longer an ass's head, but the face of a beautiful maiden.

~ ~ ~ Sentence 775 ~ ~ ~

Thus they went on making love to each other till at length, unknown to Janni, they got married.

~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,410 ~ ~ ~

'I don't want a blockhead like you to fight for me,' answered the king.

~ ~ ~ Sentence 817 ~ ~ ~

However, it became absolutely necessary that he should pay his respects, and he had scarcely been five minutes in her presence before it seemed to him that she combined in her own charming person all the gifts and graces which had so attracted him in the twelve Rose-maidens whose loss he had so truly mourned; and after all it is really more satisfactory to make love to one person at a time.

~ ~ ~ Sentence 2,587 ~ ~ ~

'Oh, you fools and blockheads!' cried their wives, 'how could you ever believe for a moment that a goat would do the work of a servant-maid?

~ ~ ~ Sentence 2,606 ~ ~ ~

When one of his comrades heard what had happened, he said, 'You blockhead, you can't have done it properly; just let me have a try,' and with these words he seized his wife by the roots of her hair, cut her throat with a razor, and then took the pipe and blew into it with all his might but he couldn't bring her back to life.
