The king thanked him for his valuable advice, and procured two or three powerful man-traps, which he placed within his treasure-chamber. Night came on, and the two thieves set to work as before, but no sooner had the younger brother disappeared through the hole in the wall than he began to utter loud cries of agony. "Peace, brother! You will rouse the guard," said the elder.
