  1. (continued from previous page)
    awake all the time let the inn keeper come close to the stick. Then he cried out, stick obey orders, and the stick beat him and gave him the dickens own hammering and he said to the boy he would give him a great magic table if he would tell the stick to stop and the boy did. Then the other brother came on the scene and they both took the table and the stick home to the father and the other son and the four of them lived happy forever afterwards.
