Country Walks For Little Folks Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Little Folks's Books Hans had served his master for seven long years, when he said to him: "Master, my time is now up, so please to give me my wages, as I wish to return home to my mother." The master answered: "You have served me like a trusty, honest fellow, as you are, and such as your services have been, so shall be your hire." And thereupon he gave him a piece of gold as large as Hans' head. Hans took a cloth and rolled up the lump of gold, and slung it over his shoulder, and began to trudge home. As he went along, and kept setting one foot before the other, he happened to come up with a traveller, who was riding at a brisk pace on a lively horse. "Oh! what a delightful thing it is to ride!" cried Hans aloud: "it is every bit as good as sitting on a chair; one doesn't knock one's toes against a stone, and one saves one's shoes, and yet one gets on, one hardly knows how."
