His heavy wooden shoes clattered as he ran along the road , and he made such haste that the stars were only just beginning to come out when he reached the cave of the Holy Man . ` Who is that knocking ? ' asked a voice from within . ` It is me ! It is me ! Holy Man ! you know ! Father -- ' ` But , my good fellow , you really should give some one else a chance .

It is like the basket . Look ! ' ` THAT my cock ? THAT my basket ? Somebody has played you a trick , my good man ! ' ' A trick ?
