桧树theJuniperTree

So Marlene went to him and said, Brother, give me the apple. But he was silent, so she gave him one on the ear, and his head fell off. Marlene was terrified, and began crying and screaming, and ran to her mother, and said, Oh, mother, I have knocked my brothers head off, and she cried and cried and could not be comforted.

Marlene, said the mother, what have you done? Be quiet and dont let anyone know about it. It cannot be helped now. We will cook him into stew.

then the mother took the little boy and chopped him in pieces, put him into the pot, and cooked him into stew. But Marlene stood by crying and crying, and all her tears fell into the pot, and they did not need any salt.

then the father came home, and sat down at the table and said, Where is my son? And the mother served up a large, large dish of stew, and Marlene cried and could not stop.

then the father said again, Where is my son?

Oh, said the mother, he has gone across the country to his mothers GREat uncle. He will stay there awhile.

What is he doing there? He did not even say good-bye to me.

Oh, he wanted to go, and asked me if he could stay six weeks. He will be well taken care of there.

Oh, said the man, I am unhappy. It isnt right. He should have said good-bye to me. With that he began to eat, saying, Marlene, why are you crying? Your brother will certainly come back.
