He had a green jacket and a red cap pointed at the top of him. His shoes had turned up toes. When the fairy saw him, he came out from behind the fort and gave him a little magic mill. He told not to tell anyone that he got the mill from him. The man promised to keep the secret.He then went home with the mill and told it to make meal. In one moment the kitchen was full of meal. His wife saw this and was very much surprised. "Where did you get that mill," says she."That is a secret to be kept", her husband answered.She coaned him to tell her where he got the wonderful mill, and at last he told the story.No sooner had he let the secret out of his mouth than the mill and all the meal disappeared.
