The
head
cook
tasted
the
food
again
,
then
he
reverently
shook
the
dwarf
by
the
hand
.
"
Little
one
,
"
said
he
,
"
you
are
a
master
of
your
craft
.
That
pinch
of
trencher-man
's
herb
has
given
the
patties
an
extra
flavour
that
renders
them
quite
perfect
.
"
102
At
this
moment
the
Duke
's
special
attendant
came
to
say
that
his
master
was
ready
for
his
break
-
fast
,
so
the
food
was
served
up
in
silver
dishes
.
The
head
cook
,
however
,
took
the
little
man
into
his
room
and
was
about
to
have
a
talk
with
him
,
when
a
message
came
from
the
Duke
desiring
his
attendance
.
He
dressed
himself
in
his
best
clothes
and
hastened
into
his
master
's
presence
.
The
Duke
was
looking
extremely
pleased
.
He
had
finished
every
morsel
of
the
food
set
before
him
and
was
wiping
his
beard
as
the
head
cook
entered
.
103
"
Cook
,
"
said
he
,
"
I
have
always
been
well
satisfied
with
your
cooking
and
with
the
work
of
those
under
you
;
but
tell
me
,
who
prepared
my
breakfast
this
morning
?
I
declare
it
has
never
been
so
well
served
since
I
sat
upon
the
throne
of
my
fathers
.
I
wish
to
know
the
cook
's
name
,
so
that
I
may
reward
him
with
a
few
ducats
.

"
My
lord
,
it
is
a
most
wonderful
story
,
"
answered
the
head
cook
,
and
proceeded
to
tell
his
master
about
the
dwarf
who
had
arrived
that
morning
and
who
had
insisted
upon
being
engaged
as
a
cook
.
The
Duke
was
much
surprised
,
and
sent
for
Jacob
and
questioned
him
close
as
to
his
name
,
where
he
came
from
,
and
so
on
.
105
Poor
Jacob
could
not
very
well
own
that
he
had
been
bewitched
and
changed
into
a
squirrel
,
but
he
was
not
far
from
the
truth
when
he
said
he
was
now
without
parents
and
that
he
had
learnt
cooking
from
an
old
woman
.
106
The
Duke
did
not
urge
him
to
say
more
,
being
much
taken
up
with
staring
-
at
the
strange
figure
and
features
of
his
new
cook
.
"
If
you
will
serve
me
,
"
he
said
,
"
I
will
pay
you
fifty
ducats
a
year
,
give
you
a
fine
robe
and
two
pairs
of
breeches
.
Your
duties
will
be
to
cook
my
breakfast
every
morning
,
order
and
superintend
the
preparation
of
my
dinner
,
and
take
over
the
entire
management
of
the
kitchen
.
As
I
always
prefer
to
name
my
servants
myself
,
I
shall
give
you
the
name
of
Long-Nose
,
and
your
position
will
be
that
of
second
head
cook
.
"
107
Long-Nose
fell
at
the
feet
of
his
new
master
,
kissed
them
,
and
vowed
to
serve
him
faithfully
.
The
little
fellow
was
thus
provided
for
,
and
he
certainly
did
honour
to
his
position
,
for
the
Duke
was
a
different
man
from
the
time
the
dwarf
entered
his
service
.
Before
that
time
he
had
been
in
the
habit
of
throwing
the
plates
and
dishes
at
the
head
of
the
cook
who
did
not
manage
to
please
him
;
indeed
,
on
one
occasion
he
had
flung
a
calf
's
foot
at
his
head
cook
because
it
was
not
sufficiently
tender
,
and
,
catching
the
poor
man
on
the
forehead
had
hurt
him
so
much
that
for
three
days
he
had
to
keep
his
bed
.
It
is
true
the
Duke
always
paid
for
his
acts
of
temper
afterwards
with
a
handful
of
ducats
,
but
,
nevertheless
,
his
cooks
were
wont
to
set
the
dishes
before
him
in
fear
and
with
trembling
hands
.

But
since
the
dwarf
had
been
in
the
house
all
had
been
changed
.
The
master
took
five
meals
a
day
instead
of
three
,
in
order
to
thoroughly
appreciate
the
skill
of
his
little
servant
,
and
never
had
he
been
dissatisfied
yet
,
but
had
found
everything
served
to
him
both
novel
and
excellent
.
109
He
was
always
in
a
good
temper
and
grew
fatter
day
by
day
.
Sometimes
as
he
sat
at
table
he
would
send
for
his
head
cook
and
Jacob
and
bid
them
share
the
delicious
food
set
before
him
,
which
was
considered
a
very
great
honour
indeed
.
The
dwarf
was
the
wonder
of
the
whole
city
.
.
The
head
cook
constantly
received
entreaties
from
various
personages
to
be
allowed
to
witness
the
dwarfs
cooking
,
and
some
of
the
most
distinguished
men
in
the
State
asked
and
received
permission
from
the
Duke
to
allow
their
cooks
to
take
lessons
from
the
little
man
.
They
paid
him
well
for
the
instructions
they
received
,
but
Long-Nose
divided
the
money
between
all
the
other
cooks
,
for
he
did
not
wish
them
to
become
jealous
of
him
.
Two
whole
years
the
dwarf
passed
in
the
Duke
's
service
and
was
well
connt
with
the
treatment
he
received
.
It
was
only
the
thought
of
his
estrangement
from
his
parents
that
gave
him
the
least
unhappiness
.
Nothing
out
of
the
common
had
happened
to
him
until
the
following
occurrence
took
place
.
He
was
a
better
hand
at
a
bargain
than
most
,
always
seeing
at
a
glance
which
were
the
best
goods
on
sale
,
and
for
this
reason
,
whenever
he
had
the
time
,
he
used
to
go
to
market
himself
.
110
One
morning
he
went
to
the
goose
fair
to
buy
geese
.
