Before
leaving
she
told
Jacob
to
cook
a
chicken
for
her
dinner
on
her
return
and
be
sure
to
stuff
it
well
with
seasoning
.
When
he
had
prepared
the
chicken
,
he
went
to
the
room
where
the
herbs
were
kept
to
collect
some
to
stuff
it
with
,
and
to
his
surprise
saw
a
little
cupboard
that
he
had
not
noticed
before
.
The
door
was
ajar
and
he
peeped
curiously
in
and
saw
a
number
of
little
baskets
from
which
issued
a
strong
and
pleasant
odour
.
He
opened
one
of
them
and
saw
that
it
contained
a
very
curious-looking
plant
.
The
leaves
and
stalks
were
of
a
bluish-green
colour
and
it
bore
a
flower
of
a
deep
red
hue
,
flecked
with
yellow
.
32
He
looked
closely
at
the
flower
,
then
smelt
it
and
noticed
it
had
the
same
scent
as
the
soup
which
the
old
woman
had
once
cooked
for
him
.
It
was
a
very
strong
scent
,
so
strong
indeed
that
it
made
him
sneeze
,
and
he
went
on
sneezing
again
and
again
until
at
length
--
he
awoke
.
He
lay
on
the
old
woman
's
sofa
and
looked
around
him
in
surprise
.
33
"
How
real
dreams
do
seem
sometimes
,
"
he
said
to
himself
.
"
I
could
have
been
certain
that
I
was
a
squirrel
just
now
,
and
had
guinea-pigs
and
squirrels
for
my
companions
,
also
that
I
had
learnt
to
be
a
first-rate
cook
.
How
Mother
will
laugh
when
I
tell
her
all
about
it
,
but
she
will
scold
me
,
too
,
for
having
fallen
asleep
in
a
stranger
's
house
instead
of
helping
her
in
the
market-place
.

He
jumped
up
in
a
hurry
but
his
limbs
were
stiff
from
sleeping
so
long
,
especially
his
neck
;
he
could
not
turn
it
about
very
easily
,
and
he
seemed
so
sleepy
still
that
he
kept
striking
his
nose
against
the
walls
and
cupboards
.
As
he
stood
upon
the
threshold
the
guinea-pigs
and
squirrels
came
whimpering
round
him
as
though
they
would
like
to
go
with
him
and
he
begged
them
to
come
,
for
they
were
dear
little
creatures
,
but
they
went
clattering
back
in
their
nutshell
shoes
and
he
could
hear
them
squeaking
away
in
the
house
.
35
The
old
woman
had
brought
him
a
long
distance
from
the
market-place
,
and
he
had
some
difficulty
in
finding
his
way
back
through
the
narrow
lanes
,
especially
as
there
seemed
to
be
a
great
crowd
of
people
.
36
Somewhere
near
he
thought
there
must
be
a
dwarf
to
be
seen
,
for
the
people
were
pushing
and
craning
their
necks
and
calling
out
to
one
another
,
"
Just
look
,
what
a
hideous
dwarf
!
Where
can
he
come
from
?
What
a
long
nose
he
has
,
and
how
his
head
is
sunk
between
his
high
shoulders
;
he
has
no
neck
at
all
,
and
see
what
great
brown
hands
he
has
.
"
37
Jacob
would
have
liked
to
have
seen
the
dwarf
himself
,
for
he
always
liked
to
see
anything
extra
-
ordinary
but
he
could
not
wait
,
because
he
knew
he
ought
to
hurry
ack
to
his
mother
.
He
felt
frightened
and
nervous
when
at
length
he
reached
the
market-place
,
for
his
mother
looked
so
altered
.
He
felt
sure
he
could
not
have
slept
very
long
,
for
she
had
still
a
quantity
of
fruit
and
vegetables
unsold
,
but
she
sat
with
her
head
leaning
on
her
hand
,
never
calling
out
to
the
passers-by
to
buy
her
wares
.
She
was
paler
too
,
and
looked
very
sad
.
He
hesitated
as
to
what
he
should
do
,
but
at
length
he
took
heart
and
crept
up
behind
her
and
,
laying
his
hand
caressingly
upon
her
arm
,
said
:
"
Mother
dear
,
what
ails
you
?
Are
you
angry
with
me
?
"

She
turned
to
look
at
him
,
but
started
back
with
a
cry
of
horror
.
"
What
do
you
want
with
me
,
you
hideous
dwarf
,
"
she
cried
.
"
Such
jokes
are
out
of
place
.
"
39
"
But
,
Mother
,
"
said
Jacob
in
alarm
,
"
you
can
not
be
well
.
Why
do
you
drive
your
son
away
?
"
40
"
Have
I
not
told
you
to
go
away
,
"
said
Hannah
angrily
,
"
you
will
get
nothing
from
me
by
such
jokes
,
you
ugly
creature
.
"
