Reunion (Part VI)

 

On the way, Hans met a horseman. Hans told him, “I need to find out my parents. Could you please give me your horse instead of this lump of gold?”

The horseman nodded his head.

However, Hans was thrown off while he was pushing the horse to run faster.

Thereafter, Hans came across a cowboy with his cow. Now Hans asked him, “Could you please give me your cow instead of this horse?”

The cowboy said, “Why not, boy? Why not?”

After a few minutes, Hans stood near moorland to milk the cow. He was really very hungry. Right then, a butcher was passing by.

He said to Hans, “How can you milk the cow? It is too old to be milked.” Hans traded his cow for the butcher’s pig.

Thereafter, Hans started again. On the way, he met a mason. Hans asked the mason, “Could you please exchange my pig with your grindstones?”

The mason agreed to his proposal.

The stones were too heavy to be carried.

After all such conversations and after walking a long way, Hans felt tired and thirsty. So, he went to a nearby well to drink some water.

At a distance within view, he saw a man and a woman standing.
