he took down his great fur coat, and his warm scarlet cap, and tied

"What a dreadful storm it was! The night was so black that little
Hans could hardly see, and the wind was so strong that he could
scarcely stand. However, he was very courageous, and after he had

"'The Miller's son has fallen from a ladder, and has hurt himself,
and the Miller wants you to come at once.'

big boots, and his lantern, and came downstairs, and rode off in

him.

and little Hans could not see where he was going, or keep up with
the horse.
