　　THERE were once two brothers who both served as soldiers; one of

　　them was rich, and the other poor. Then the poor one, to escape

　　from his poverty, put off his soldier's coat, and turned farmer.

　　He dug and hoed his bit of land, and sowed it with turnip-seed.

　　The seed came up, and one turnip grew there which became large and

　　vigorous, and visibly grew bigger and bigger, and seemed as if it

　　would never stop growing, so that it might have been called the

　　princess of turnips, for never was such an one seen before, and

　　never will such an one be seen again.

　　At length it was so enormous that by itself it filled a whole

　　cart, and two oxen were required to draw it, and the farmer had

　　not the least idea what he was to do with the turnip, or whether

　　it would be a fortune to him or a misfortune. At last he thought,

　　"If thou sellest it, what wilt thou get for it that is of any importance,

　　and if thou eatest it thyself, why, the small turnips would do thee

　　just as much good; it would be better to take it to the King, and

　　make him a present of it."

　　So he placed it on a cart, harnessed two oxen, took it to the

　　palace, and presented it to the King. "What strange thing is

　　this?" said the King. "Many wonderful things have come before my

　　eyes, but never such a monster as this! From what seed can this

　　have sprung, or are you a luck-child and have met with it by chance?"

　　"Ah, no!" said the farmer, "no luck-child am I. I am a poor soldier,

　　who because he could no longer support himself hung his soldier's

　　coat on a nail and took to farming land. I have a brother who is rich

　　and well known to you, Lord King, but I, because I have nothing, am

　　forgotten by every one."

　　Then the King felt compassion for him, and said, "Thou shalt be

　　raised from thy poverty, and shalt have such gifts from me that thou

　　shalt be equal to thy rich brother." Then he bestowed on him much

　　gold, and lands, and meadows, and herds, and made him immensely

　　rich, so that the wealth of the other brother could not be compared

　　with his. When the rich brother heard what the poor one had gained

　　for himself with one single turnip, he envied him, and thought in

　　every way how he also could get hold of a similar piece of luck. He

　　would, however, set about it in a much wiser way, and took gold

　　and horses and carried them to the King, and made certain the King

　　would give him a much larger present in return. If his brother had

　　got so much for one turnip, what would he not carry away with

　　him in return for such beautiful things as these? The King accepted

　　his present, and said he had nothing to give him in return that was

　　more rare and excellent than the great turnip. So the rich man was

　　obliged to put his brother's turnip in a cart and have it taken to his

　　home. When there he did not know on whom to vent his rage and

　　anger, until bad thoughts came to him, and he resolved to kill his

　　brother. He hired murderers, who were to lie in ambush, and then

　　he went to his brother and said, "Dear brother, I know of a hidden

　　treasure, we will dig it up together, and divide it between us."

　　The other agreed to this, and accompanied him without suspicion.

　　While they were on their way, however, the murderers fell on him,

　　bound him, and would have hanged him to a tree. But just as they

　　were doing this, loud singing and the sound of a horse's feet were

　　heard in the distance. On this their hearts were filled with terror,

　　and they pushed their prisoner head first into the sack, hung

　　it on a branch, and took to flight. He, however, worked up there

　　until he had made a hole in the sack through which he could put his

　　head. The man who was coming by was no other than a travelling

　　student, a young fellow who rode on his way through the wood

　　joyously singing his song. When he who was aloft saw that someone

　　was passing below him, he cried, "Good day! You have come at

　　a lucky time." The student looked round on every side, but did

　　not know whence the voice came. At last he said, "Who calls

　　me?" Then an answer came from the top of the tree, "Raise your

　　eyes; here I sit aloft in the Sack of Wisdom. In a short time

　　have I learnt great things; compared with this all schools are

　　a jest; in a very short time I shall have learnt everything, and

　　shall descend wiser than all other men. I understand the stars,

　　and the signs of the Zodiac, and the tracks of the winds, the

　　sand of the sea, the healing of illness, and the virtues of all herbs,

　　birds, and stones. If you were once within it you would feel what

　　noble things issue forth from the Sack of Knowledge."

　　The student, when he heard all this, was astonished, and said,

　　"Blessed be the hour in which I have found thee! May not I also

　　enter the sack for a while?" He who was above replied as if

　　unwillingly, "For a short time I will let you get into it, if you

　　reward me and give me good words; but you must wait an hour

　　longer, for one thing remains which I must learn before I do it."

　　When the student had waited a while he became impatient, and

　　begged to be allowed to get in at once, his thirst for knowledge

　　was so very great. So he who was above pretended

　　at last to yield, and said, "In order that I may come forth from

　　the house of knowledge you must let it down by the rope, and

　　then you shall enter it." So the student let the sack down,

　　untied it, and set him free, and then cried, "Now draw me up at

　　once," and was about to get into the sack. "Halt!" said the other,

　　"that won't do," and took him by the head and put him upside down

　　into the sack, fastened it, and drew the disciple of wisdom up

　　the tree by the rope. Then he swung him in the air and said, "How

　　goes it with thee, my dear fellow? Behold, already thou feelest wisdom

　　coming, and art gaining valuable experience. Keep perfectly quiet until

　　thou becomest wiser." Thereupon he mounted the student's horse and

　　rode away, but in an hour's time sent some one to let the student out again.
