` Well , then , Walter can take the miller 's little Lisa with him . She can sit on a stone and look on , ' said Jonas . ` No , she would certainly be frightened , ' said Walter , ` and how would it do for a girl to go wolf-hunting ? Come with me , Jonas , and you shall have the skin , and I will be content with the ears and the tail . ' ` No , thank you , ' said Jonas , ` Walter can keep the skin for himself . Now I see quite well that he is frightened . Fie , shame on him ! ' This touched Walter 's pride very near . ' I shall show that I am not frightened , ' he said ; and so he took his drum , sabre , cock 's feather , clasp-knife , pop-gun and air-pistol , and went off quite alone to the wood to hunt wolves . It was a beautiful evening , and the birds were singing in all the branches . Walter went very slowly and cautiously . At every step he looked all round him to see if perchance there was anything lurking behind the stones . He quite thought something moved away there in the ditch . Perhaps it was a wolf . ` It is better for me to beat the drum a little before I go there , ' thought Walter . Br-r-r , so he began to beat his drum . Then something moved again . Caw ! caw ! a crow flew up from the ditch .
XXXXX immediately regained courage .
