But, tell me, don't you think maybe he's covered up a leetle too close-t? That's better. An' now I've saw him befo' she did! An' I didn't want to, neither. Poor leetle, teenchy, weenchy bit of a thing! Ef he ain't the very littlest! Lordy, Lordy, Lordy! But I s'pose all thet's needed in a baby is a startin'-p'int big enough to hol' the fam'ly ch'racteristics.
When the Prince of the Seven Golden Cows heard the sad news, he became white with rage, and in his fury he wanted to give his servants a thousand lashes for not having taken better care of the animals. But his wife calmed him little by little, then: "My husband, give back to Teenchy Duck this purse you have taken, or else we shall be ruined," she said.
Here is my beautiful money!" On her way home she returned the friends that had aided her to the places where she had found them, thanking them kindly for their help in time of need. At break of day Teenchy Duck found herself at her master's door. She aroused him by her loud cries. After that, the family was rich and Teenchy Duck was well taken care of.
It was night, and the Prince of the Seven Golden Cows ordered one of his servants to take Teenchy Duck and shut her up in the henhouse with the turkeys, the geese, and the chickens, thinking that these fowls would kill the stranger, and that her disagreeable song would for ever be at an end.
"In these days of sorrow I stand in need of friends." "How shall we follow you?" asked the Bees. "Get into my satchel," said Teenchy Duck. "I'll carry you the best I know how." Then the Bees shook their wings for joy and swarmed into the satchel along with the other friends of Teenchy Duck. She went on her way always crying for the return of her beautiful money.
"Shall I go with you?" asked Brother Fox. "I'd be only too glad if you would," exclaimed Teenchy Duck. "But how can I go?" said Brother Fox. "Get into my satchel," said Teenchy Duck, "and I'll try to carry you." "It isn't big enough," said Brother Fox. "It will stretch," said Teenchy Duck. So Brother Fox got into the satchel, and Teenchy Duck went waddling along the road, crying: "Quack! quack!
This order was immediately carried out by the servant, but no sooner had Teenchy Duck entered the henhouse than she exclaimed: "Brother Fox, if you do not come to my aid, I am lost." Brother Fox came out of the satchel promptly, and worked so well at his trade that of all the fowls he found there, not one remained alive.
I rather hope she does blow away, so as to provide me with a much-needed excuse to buy a better one. The oars, I see, are in her. Never mind, they're too heavy. I never liked them." Then he put his arm around Ellen. "By the way, Teenchy," said he, "your old boot is still sticking out of the oak tree." "Oh, papa," cried Ellen, "you said we mustn't talk about it or it would be full of spiders."
Teenchy went on her way again. She didn't walk very fast, for her satchel was heavy; but she never ceased crying: "Quack! quack! Give me back my beautiful money!" Now it happened, as she was going along, she came up with a Ladder, which said, without asking after her health: "My poor Teenchy Duck! You do not seem to be very happy." "I should think not!" exclaimed Teenchy Duck.
You give it to a big lord, who did not lose it, when we poor people need it so much! Go out of this house instantly, and don't dare to come back until you have brought me the purse of gold!" Poor Teenchy Duck trembled in all her limbs, and made herself small and humble; but she found her voice to say: "You are right, my master! I go at once to find the Prince of the Seven Golden Cows."
