Both looked at each other, why are you not eating your supper. The boy ate his supper. The little man then said to him have you any knowledge of me I have not said the boy. I am your father and come out now and I'll show you something. The two of them went out, the little man showed the boy his mother and she picking the bone she refused the poor man.

The boy got on well in the world without ever going to seek his fortune afterwards.
