"What can the matter be?" the Ladder asked. Teenchy Duck then told her story over again. "I am not doing anything at present," said the Ladder, "shall I go with you?" "Yes," said Teenchy Duck. "But how can I go, I who never walk?" inquired the Ladder. "Why, get into my satchel," said Teenchy Duck, "and I'll carry you the best I know how."
She went on to say that, having broken the pledge, he was sent to the workhouse for sixty days and she was left without money, with seven children to care for. "They want me to put the children away to the 'sylums, but we want to stay together, ma'am. We can get on elegant with a little help with the rent and a teenchy bit grocery order now and then.
But once out of doors the poor Puddle Duck thought to herself sorrowfully: "How and where can I find the Prince who was so mean as to steal the beautiful money?" Teenchy Duck was so bewildered that she began to strike her head against the rocks in despair. Suddenly an idea came into her mind.
You'll hatter stan' out in de rain a mighty long time 'fo' you kin talk hoarse ez dat house! "I let you know," continued Uncle Remus, laying his hand gently on the little boy's shoulder, "I let you know, Brer Wolf come a-slinkin' out, en made a break fer home. Atter dat, Brer Rabbit live a long time wid'out any er de yuther creeturs a-pesterin' un 'im!" Teenchy Duck
At break of day the servant-girl, whose business it was to attend to the poultry-yard, opened the door of the henhouse, and was astounded to see Teenchy Duck come out, singing the same old song: "Quack! quack! Give me back my beautiful money!"
Teenchy Duck made herself heard all day, and at night the Prince said to his servants: "Take this squaller and throw her into the stable under the feet of the mules and horses. We will see in the morning what she will say." The servants obeyed, and Teenchy Duck immediately cried: "Brother Wolf, if you do not come quickly to my aid I shall be killed."
"What shall we do first?" the servants asked. "It matters not," said the Prince, "so long as we are rid of her." The servants took Teenchy Duck and threw her into the well, thinking this the easier, and the quickest way to be rid of her. As Teenchy Duck was falling, she cried: "Come to my assistance, good Ladder, or I am undone."
He was richer than all the kings and emperors, but he was mean and miserly. He walked along with a stick in his hand, and as he walked he counted in his mind the millions that he had stored away in his strong-box. "Quack! quack! Who lost his beautiful money? Quack! quack! Who lost his beautiful money?" cried Teenchy Duck.
"Perhaps I can be of some service to you," said Brother Wolf. "Shall I go with you?" "I am willing," said Teenchy Duck. "But how can I go so far?" Brother Wolf asked. "Get into my satchel," said Teenchy Duck, "and I'll carry you as best I can." "It is too small," said Brother Wolf. "It will stretch mightily," said Teenchy Duck. So Brother Wolf also got into the satchel with Brother Fox.
"Return the money to this ugly witch," groaned the unfortunate wife. "Run, or we are done for." The Prince did not wait to be told twice. He ran and got the purse full of gold, and returned it to Teenchy Duck. "Here," said he, "I am conquered. But get out of my grounds quickly." Full of joy, Teenchy Duck went out into the road singing: "Quack! quack! I have got my beautiful money! Quack! quack!
