He did not own a single cow, and had even less money to buy one with, but he and his wife would have liked to have one ever so much. One day he said to her, "Listen, I have a good idea. Our kinsman the cabinetmaker should make us a calf out of wood and paint it brown so that it looks like any other calf, and with time it is sure to grow big and be a cow." His wife liked this idea, and their kinsman the cabinetmaker skillfully put together the calf and planed it, then painted it just right. He made it with its head hanging down as if it were grazing. When the cows were being driven out the next morning the little peasant called to the herder and said, "Look, I have a little calf here, but it is still small and has to be carried." The herder said, "All right," and taking it in his arms he carried it to the pasture where he set it in the grass. The little calf stood there like one that was grazing, and the herder said, "It will soon be walking by itself. Just look how it is already grazing." |
