"Tom," he said one day to his apprentice, when time had produced confidence and awakened sympathies between them, "thou art a lucky youth, or the parish officer would never have brought thee to my door. Thou little knowest the wealth that is in store for thee, or the treasures that are at thy command, if thou provest diligent, and in particular faithful to my interests."
There be those around and about thee who will have no mercy so long as thou provest obdurate.

And Marcolf replies, "No, I think." "What thinkest thou?" "That there are as many vertebrae in the hare's tail as in his backbone." The king, assured that he has now entrapped his adversary, replies: "If thou provest not this, thou diest in the morning!" Over and over again Marcolf snores, and is awakened by Solomon, but he is always thinking.
