once there was a miller who was poor but who had a beautiful daughter now it happened that he had to go and speak to the king and in order to make himself appear important he said to him i have a daughter who can spin straw into gold the king said to the miller that is an art which pleases me well if your daughter is as clever as you say bring her tomorrow to my palace and i will try what she can do and when the girl was brought to him he took her into a room which was quite full of straw gave her a spinning wheel and a reel and said now set to work and if by tomorrow morning early you have not spun this straw into gold during the night you must die thereupon he himself locked up the room and left her in it alone so there sat the poor miller's daughter and for her life could not tell what to do she had no idea how straw could be spun into gold and she grew more and more miserable until at last she began to weep but all at once the door opened and in came a little man and said good evening mistress miller why are you crying so alas answered the girl i have to spin straw into gold and i do not know how to do it what will you give me said the mannequin if i do it for you my necklace said the girl the little man took the necklace seated himself in front of the wheel and were three turns and the reel was full then he put on another and were were three times round and the second was full too and so it went on until the morning when all the straw was spun and all the reels were full of gold by daybreak the king was already there and when he saw the gold he was astonished and delighted but his heart became only more greedy he had the miller's daughter taken into another room full of straw which was much larger and commanded her to spin that also in one night if she valued her life the girl knew not how to help herself and was crying when the door opened again and the little man appeared and said what will you give me if i spin that straw into gold for you the ring on my finger answered the girl the little man took the ring again began to turn the wheel and by morning had spun all the straw into glittering gold the king rejoiced beyond measure at the sight but still he had not gold enough and he had the miller's daughter taken into a still larger room full of straw and said you must spin this too in the course of this night but if you succeed you shall be my wife even if she be a miller's daughter thought he i could not find a richer wife in the whole world when the girl was alone the mannequin came again for the third time and said what will you give me if i spin the straw for you this time also i have nothing left that i could give answered the girl then promise me if you should become queen to give me your first child who knows whether that will ever happen thought the miller's daughter and not knowing how else to help herself in this straight she promised the mannequin what he wanted and for that he once more spun the straw into gold and when the king came in the morning and found all as he had wished he took her in marriage and the pretty miller's daughter became a queen a year after she had a beautiful child and she never gave a thought to the mannequin but suddenly he came into her room and said now give me what you promised the queen was horror struck and offered the mannequin all the riches of the kingdom if he would leave her child but the mannequins said no something that is living is dearer to me than all the treasures in the world then the queen began to weep and cry so that the mannequin pitied her i will give you three days time said he if...

patsy by ralph henry barbour this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org he made his first appearance one afternoon a week or so before the fall handicap meeting mosher fosgill alien ronamus and several more of us were down at the end of the field putting the shot fosgill who was scratchman that year had just done an even 40 feet and the shot had trickled away toward the cinder path whereupon a small bit of humanity appeared from somewhere picked up to 16 pounds of lead with much difficulty and staggered back to the circle with it hello kid said fosgill that's pretty heavy for you isn't it nah was the superb reply that ain't nothing we laughed and the youngster grinned around at us in a companionable way that won us on the spot what's your name askaronimus patsy patsy what burns how old are you laven you're a frenchman aren't you nah you're not aeronauts pretended intense surprise he's a dutchman aren't you patsy said mosher nah what are you then marker answered patsy with a grin for the rest of that day and for many days afterwards patsy honored us with his presence after each put he ambled forth lifted the metal ball from the ground with two dirty little hands snuggled it against the front of his dirty little shirt and labored back with it at the end of the week patsy had become official helper he was a diminutive wisp of humanity a starved slender elf with a freckled face whizzened in pikad which at times looked a thousand years old it reminded you of the face of one of those pretty naturally aged monkeys that sit motionless in a dark corner of the cage oppressed with the sins and sorrows of a hundred centuries and yet it mustn't be supposed that patsy was either a pessimist or a misanthrope patsy's gray irish eye could sparkle merrily and his thin little irish mouth usually wore a whimsical smile it was as though he realized that life was but a hollow mockery and yet had bravely resolved to pretend otherwise that we young and innocent might still preserve our cherished illusions we made a good deal of patsy we pretended that he was very very old and sophisticated not a difficult task and deferred to his judgment on all occasions but in spite of this patsy never became fresh to be sure he speedily began calling fosgil bull but i don't think he meant the slightest disrespect everyone called the big fellow bull and it is quite possible that patsy believed it to be a title of honor he was attentive to all of us but his heart was fosgills he used to wait outside the locker building until we came out after dressing and then walked beside fosgill until he reached the square then patsy would say goodnight bull and fosgill would answer gravely good night patsy and patsy would disappear but the evening of the handicaps we took him back to the boarding house with us and he sat beside fosgill and ate ravenously of everything placed before him we learned patsy's life story that evening he went to school generally he lived with brian brian was his brother 18 years old and a man of business brian drove for connors the teamster patsy wasn't sure that he had ever had a mother but he was absolutely certain about his father he still had vivid recollections of the night they broke down the door and put the handcuffs on father after father had laid out the lieutenant with a chair patsy didn't know just what father had done but he had an idea it was something regarding the disappearance of numerous suits of clothes from a tailor's shop patsy was going into business himself just as soon as they let him stop school he was going to sell papers he had tried several times to wean himself from education but each time they hailed him back to the schoolhouse patsy thought the...
