remarkable how one good action always breeds another。 I have given 
you my wheelbarrow�察�and now you are going to give me your plank。 Of 
course�察�the wheelbarrow is worth far more than the plank�察�but true�察�
friendship never notices things like that。 Pray get it at once�察�and I will set 
to work at my barn this very day。' 
    ;'Certainly��' cried little Hans�察�and he ran into the shed and dragged the 
plank out。 
    ;'It is not a very big plank��' said the Miller�察�looking at it�察�'and I am 
afraid that after I have mended my barn´roof there won't be any left for 
you to mend the wheelbarrow with�察�but�察�of course�察�that is not my fault。 
And now�察�as I have given you my wheelbarrow�察�I am sure you would like 
to give me some flowers in return。 Here is the basket�察�and mind you fill 
it quite full。' 
    ;'Quite full��' said little Hans�察�rather sorrowfully�察�for it was really a 
very big basket�察�and he knew that if he filled it he would have no flowers 
left for the market and he was very anxious to get his silver buttons back。 
    ;'Well�察�really��' answered the Miller�察�'as I have given you my 
wheelbarrow�察�I don't think that it is much to ask you for a few flowers。 I 
may be wrong�察�but I should have thought that friendship�察�true friendship�察�
 selfishness of any kind。' 
    ;'My dear friend�察�my best friend��' cried little Hans�察�'you are wele to

all the flowers in my garden。 I would much sooner have your good 
opinion than my silver buttons�察�any day'�察�and he ran and plucked all his 
pretty primroses�察�and filled the Miller's basket。 
    ;'Good´bye�察�little Hans��' said the Miller�察�as he went up the hill with the 
plank on his shoulder�察�and the big basket in his hand。 
    ;'Good´bye��' said little Hans�察�and he began to dig aerrily�察�
he was so pleased about the wheelbarrow。 
    ;The next day he was nailing up some honeysuckle against the porch�察�
when he heard the Miller's voice calling to him from the road。 So he 
jumped off the ladder�察�and ran down the garden�察�and looked over the wall。 
    ;There was the Miller with a large sack of flour on his back。 
    ;'Dear little Hans��' said the Miller�察�'would you mind carrying this sack 
of flour for me to market��' 
    ;'Oh�察�I am so sorry��' said Hans�察�'but I am really very busy to´day。 I 
have got all my creepers to nail up�察�and all my flowers to water�察�and all my 
grass to roll。' 
    ;'Well�察�really��' said the Miller�察�'I think that�察�considering that I am going 
to give you my wheelbarrow�察�it is rather unfriendly of you to refuse。' 
    ;'Oh�察�don't say that��' cried little Hans�察�'I wouldn't be unfriendly for the 
whole world'�察�and he ran in for his cap�察�and trudged off with the big sack 
on his shoulders。 
    ;It was a very hot day�察�and the road was terribly dusty�察�and before 
Hans had reached the sixth milestone he was so tired that he had to sit 
down and rest。 However�察�he went on bravely�察�and as last he reached the 
market。 After he had waited there some time�察�he sold the sack of flour 
for a very good price�察�and then he returned home at once�察�for he was afraid 
that if he stopped too late he might meet some robbers on the way。 
    ;'It has certainly been a hard day��' said little Hans to himself as he was 
going to bed�察�'but I am glad I did not refuse the Miller�察�for he is my best 
friend�察�and�察�besides�察�he is going to give me his wheelbarrow。' 
    ;Early the next morning the Miller came down to get the money for 
his sack of flour�察�but little Hans was so tired that he was still in bed。

     ;'Upon my word��' said the Miller�察�'you are very lazy。              Really�察�
considering that I am going to give you my wheelbarrow�察�I think you 
might work harder。 Idleness is a great sin�察�and I certainly don't like any 
of my friends to be idle or sluggish。 You must not mind my speaking 
quite plainly to you。 Of course I should not dream of doing so if I were 
not your friend。 But what is the good of friendship if one cannot say 
exactly what one means�拭�Anybody can say charming things and try to 
please and to flatter�察�but a true friend always says unpleasant things�察�and 
does not mind giving pain。 Indeed�察�if he is a really true friend he prefers 
it�察�for he knows that then he is doing good。' 
     ;'I am very sorry��' said little Hans�察�rubbing his eyes and pulling off his 
night´cap�察�'but I was so tired that I thought I would lie in bed for a little 
time�察�and listen to the birds singing。 Do you know that I always work 
better after hearing the birds sing��' 
     ;'Well�察�I am glad of that��' said the Miller�察�clapping little Hans on the 
back�察�'for I want you to e up to the mill as soon as you are dressed�察�
and mend my barn´roof for me。' 
     ;Poor little Hans was very anxious to go and work in his garden�察�for 
his flowers had not been watered for two days�察�but he did not like to refuse 
the Miller�察�as he was such a good friend to him。 
     ;'Do you think it would be unfriendly of me if I said I was busy��' he 
inquired in a shy and timid voice。 
     ;'Well�察�really��' answered the Miller�察�'I do not think it is much to ask of 
you�察�considering that I am going to give you my wheelbarrow�察�but of 
course if you refuse I will go and do it myself。' 
     ;'Oh� �on no account��' cried little Hans and he jumped out of bed�察�and 
dressed himself�察�and went up to the barn。 
     ;He worked there all day long�察�till sunset�察�and at sunset the Miller 
came to see how he was getting on。 
     ;'Have you mended the hole in the roof yet�察�little Hans��' cried the 
Miller in a cheery voice。 
     ;'It is quite mended��' answered little Hans�察�ing down the ladder。

                              The Happy Prince and Other Tales 




     ;'Ah'� �said the Miller�察�'there is no work so delightful as the work one 
does for others。' 
     ;'It is certainly a great privilege to hear you talk��' answered little Hans�察�
sitting down�察�and wiping his forehead�察�'a very great privilege。 But I am 
afraid I shall never have such beautiful ideas as you have。' 
     ;'Oh� �they will e to you��' said the Miller�察�'but you must take more 
pains。 At present you have only the practice of friendship�察�some day you 
will have the theory also。' 
     ;'Do you really think I shall��' asked little Hans。 
     ;'I have no doubt of it��' answered the Miller�察�'but now that you have 
mended the roof�察�you had better go home and rest�察�for I want you to drive 
my sheep to the mountain to´morrow。' 
     ;Poor little Hans was afraid to say anything to this�察�and early the next 
morning the Miller brought his sheep round to the cottage�察�and Hans 
started off with them to the mountain。 It took him the whole day to get 
there and back�察�and when he returned he was so tired that he went off to 
sleep in his chair�察�and did not wake up till it was broad daylight。 
     ;'What a delightful time I shall have in my garden��' he said�察�and he 
went to work at once。 
     ;But somehow he was never able to look after his flowers at all�察�for his 
friend the Miller was always ing round and sending him off on long 
errands�察�or getting him to help at the mill。 Little Hans was very much 
distressed at times�察�as he was afraid his flowers would think he had 
forgotten them�察�but he consoled himself by the reflection that the Miller 
was his best friend。 'Besides��' he used to say�察�'he is going to give me his 
wheelbarrow�察�and that is an act of pure generosity。' 
     ;So little Hans worked away for the Miller�察�and the Miller said all 
kinds of beautiful things about friendship�察�which Hans took down in a 
note´book�察�and used to read over at night�察�for he was a very good scholar。 
     ;Now it happened that one evening little Hans was sitting by his 
fireside when a loud rap came at the door。 It was a very wild night�察�and 
the wind was blowing and roaring round the house so terribly that at first

he thought it was merely the storm。 But a second rap came�察�and then a 
third�察�louder than any of the others。 
    ;'It is some poor traveller��' said little Hans to himself�察�and he ran to the 
door。 
    ;There stood the Miller with a lantern in one hand and a big stick in 
the other。 
    ;'Dear little Hans��' cried the Miller�察�'I am in great trouble。 My little 
boy has fallen off a ladder and hurt himself�察�and I am going for the Doctor。 
But he lives so far away�察�and it is such a bad night�察�that it has just occurred 
to me that it would be much better if you went instead of me。 You know 
I am going to give you my wheelbarrow�察�and so�察�it is only fair that you 
should do something for me in return。' 
    ;'Certainly��' cried little Hans�察�'I take it quite as a pliment your 
ing to me�察�and I will start off at once。 But you must lend me your 
lantern�察�as the night is so dark that I am afraid I might fall into the ditch。' 
    ;'I am very sorry��' answered the Miller�察�'but it
