"Go to the castle and look for the golden duck. It's really a
princess, and she will tell you what to do."
The shoemaker
was excited and went to the castle. (2) When he saw the duck, she turned into a
beautiful princess. "I want to be rich
and happy," he said. (3) "Spend all this money tomorrow," the
princess said, "but only on yourself, not on other people. Then when you have nothing I will make you
rich." "This is easy,"
thought the shoemaker, and the next day he started spending the money. (4) Then
he met an old soldier, a beggar, with
one leg. "I'm hungry, help me," he said. (5) The magic spell stopped working, and the princess appeared.
"You gave some money to another person," she said. "I cannot
make you rich." Then the old soldier said to the shoemaker, "Don't be
unhappy. (6)" At last the
shoemaker understood. He .worked hard, saved money and started his own shop. In time he got married and had a family.
