“It happened that the eldest wanted to go into the forest to hew wood, and before he went his mother gave him a beautiful sweet cake and a bottle of wine in order that he might not suffer from hunger or thirst. When he entered the forest there met him a little grey- haired old man who bade him good-day, and said, " Do give me a piece of cake out of your pocket, and let me have a draught of your wine ; I am so hungry and thirsty."”
