A fattier had three sons; the oldest
was railed Marlin,, the second, Mat
hew and the third Michael, All three
were grown up, when Iholr father
began to sicken, and In u few days
had to prepare to die, when he called
them to Ids liedslde.
"You know my children, 1 have no i
riches, except this cottage, my eat, ,
eo< k and scythe. J.lvo together In the
cottage, and of the three things take j
one. Ho not sipmhlde, hut live In
peace, and now, Hod Ideas you!” Hav
ing finished, he died.
When the sons had hurled the faili
or they divided the Inheritance. Mar
tin took the scythe, for he knew well
how to mow; Matthew, the tomcat,
and Mlchal the cock.
"Hear brothers," aald Martin, “we
cannot all remain at home, or else we
should die of hunger. You two re
main at home and arrange thlnga,
while 1 go with my scythe out Into
the world."
The three loved one another, and
what the one wished the other* also
ileal red; so no one spoke this plan.
Martin took the scythe and started
on his wanderings. He went very far,
very far, but nowhere could he find
work. At last lie came to a country
where the people were exceedingly
stupid. As he neared a city he met a
man, who naked him what he carried.
“A scythe,” said Marlin.
"And wlrnt Is that, and what Is It

“To cut grass, grain.”
"With that you cut grass? Why,
that is splendid! We have to pick and
pull out with our hands all the grass,
and lit Hod's name we can never be
ready If you would go to our king,
he would pay you well for this Inven
tion.”
“And why not? I’ll go!”
The man led him lo the king, who
was much astonished at this Inven
tion. and at once hired him to cut
the grass In one of his meadows.
Martin went, followed by a crowd,
but ns he was not stupid lie stuck
the scythe up In the middle of the
meadow, and having told the servant
to bring dinner for two, drove all the
curious people away. At midday the
servant brought dinner for two and
was much astonished to see so much
grass cut.
“Will your grass cutter also eat?”

hut gU-’with Hod and leave us alone.”
The servant went away, and Mar
tin ate the dinner for two alone.
“That was a good thought, that I or
dered dinner for two. If I had asked
for only one. I would not have had
enough.” A ltd so ho ordered two din
ners every day till all the meadows
were cut.
When he was Mulshed he put his
scythe over his shoulder and weut to
the king for his hire.
“Your grass cutler cuts the grass
himself?” asked the king.
“Himself, most merciful king.”
“l’orhnps you would leave him here
then, for 1,000 Morins?”
' “He Is worth more! Hut I will
leave him here for that price,” snld
i Martin and put tho scythe down, took
the money and went home. The king
Imd the scythe put In a room, that
It might not be Injured. Next year
came. The grass was ripe, ready to
lie cut. The king ordered the Inven
tion to he brought to the meadow,
with titling pomp. They brought It
out ami stuck It In the middle of the
ground and went away, as they
thought the grass cutter did not like
to lie watched. At midnight they
came with tho dinner, burning with
curiosity to see how much ho had cut.
Hut me scythe stood exactly ns they
had stuck it In the morning, and they
were very much astonished. They
placed the dinner beside and went to
tell the king.
"If he cut so much grass the first
half day when that man was with
him, why will he not eut It now?”
said the king and shook his head. In
the evening the servant came again
am) said the grass was not cut and
the dinner was uueateu.
“it must be bewitched," suld the
king. "Let him rts'che twenty blows,
and If he will not eut then we will
bury him.'
During this time the brothers Imd
tine times and blessed their father
that be Imd left them such a rich In
hcrltatice. after nwhlle when the moil
ey began to be ail spent, Matthew
said;
"Now I will go and wander. Her
Imps I will dispose of my mek as
