Question Try to fill in the missing words: Once upon a time, two men went into the world to seek their fortunes; but they soon fell into a wasteful and foolish way of BLANK 1 of 27, so that they could not return home again. Then their brother, who was a little insignificant dwarf, went out to seek his brothers: but when he had BLANK 2 of 27 them they only laughed at him, to think that he, who was so young and simple, should try to travel through the world, when they, who were so much BLANK 3 of 27, had been unable to get on. However, they all set out on their journey together, and came at last to an ant-hill. The two elder brothers would have BLANK 4 of 27 it down, in order to see how the poor ants in their fright would run about and carry off their BLANK 5 of 27. But the little dwarf said, ’Let the poor things enjoy themselves, I will not allow you to trouble them.’ So on they went, and came to a BLANK 6 of 27 where many ducks were swimming about. The two brothers wanted to BLANK 7 of 27 two, and roast them. But the dwarf said, ’Let the poor things enjoy themselves, you shall not kill them.’ Next they came to a beehive in a hollow tree, and there was so much honey that it BLANK 8 of 27 down the trunk; and the two brothers wanted to light a fire under the tree and kill the bees, so as to get their honey. But the dwarf held them back, and said, ’Let the pretty insects enjoy themselves, I cannot let you BLANK 9 of 27 them.’ At length the three brothers came to a castle: and as they passed by the stables they saw BLANK 10 of 27 horses standing there, but all were of marble. Then they went through all the BLANK 11 of 27, till they came to a little old man. The old man took them to a marble table, where there were three tablets, containing an BLANK 12 of 27 of the means by which the castle might be disenchanted. The first tablet said: ‘In the forest, under the moss, lie the thousand pearls belonging to the king’s BLANK 13 of 27; they must all be found: and if one is missing by BLANK 14 of 27, he who seeks them will be turned into marble.’ The eldest brother set out, and sought for the pearls the whole day: but the evening came, and he had not found the first BLANK 15 of 27: so he was turned into stone as the tablet had foretold. The next day the second brother undertook the task; but he BLANK 16 of 27 no better than the first; for he could only find the second hundred of the pearls; and therefore he too was turned into stone. At last came the little dwarf’s turn; and he looked in the moss; but it was so hard to find the pearls, and the job was so tiresome!–so he sat down upon a stone and BLANK 17 of 27. And as he sat there, the king of the ants (whose life he had BLANK 18 of 27) came to help him, with five thousand ants; and it was not long before they had found all the pearls and laid them in a heap. The second tablet said: ’The key of the princess’s bed-chamber must be fished up out of the lake.’ And as the dwarf BLANK 19 of 27 to the brink of it, he saw the two ducks whose lives he had saved swimming about; and they dived down and soon brought in the key from the BLANK 20 of 27. The third task was the BLANK 21 of 27. It was to choose the youngest and the best of the king’s three daughters. Now they were all beautiful, and all exactly BLANK 22 of 27: but he was told that the eldest had eaten a piece of sugar, the next some sweet syrup, and the youngest a spoonful of honey; so he was to BLANK 23 of 27 which it was that had eaten the honey. Then came the queen of the bees, who had been saved by the little dwarf from the fire, and she BLANK 24 of 27 the lips of all three; but at last she sat upon the lips of the one that had eaten the honey: and so the dwarf knew which was the youngest. Thus the spell was BLANK 25 of 27, and all who had been turned into stones awoke, and took their proper BLANK 26 of 27. And the dwarf married the youngest and the best of the princesses, and became king after her father’s BLANK 27 of 27, and his two brothers married the other two sisters.
