Sayfa 505 / 626

When the time came, the father and son went out together to the

place agreed upon: and the son drew a circle on the ground, and

set himself and his father in the middle of it. The little black

dwarf soon came, and walked round and round about the circle, but

could not find any way to get into it, and he either could not,

or dared not, jump over it. At last the boy said to him. 'Have

you anything to say to us, my friend, or what do you want?' Now

Heinel had found a friend in a good fairy, that was fond of him,

and had told him what to do; for this fairy knew what good luck

was in store for him. 'Have you brought me what you said you

would?' said the dwarf to the merchant.
