` Was it not pleasanter to play for a couple of hours on the pipes than to be stirring sauces all day long ? For the second time I have shown you the path to follow ; try to learn wisdom , and take the bull by the horns , lest your luck should slip from you ! I can be your guide no longer , therefore listen to what I say , and obey me . Go every Sunday afternoon to those gardens ; and sit under the lime tree and play to the people , and bring a felt hat with a deep crown , and lay it on the ground at your feet , so that everyone can throw some money into it . If you are invited to play at a feast , accept willingly , but beware of asking a fixed price ; say you will take whatever they may feel inclined to give . You will get far more money in the end . Perhaps , some day , our paths may cross , and then I shall see how far you have followed my advice . Till then , farewell ' ; and the old man went his way . As before , his words came true , though Tiidu could not at once do his bidding , as he had first to fulfil his appointed time of service . Meanwhile he ordered some fine clothes , in which he played every Sunday in the gardens , and when he counted his gains in the evening they were always more than on the Sunday before . At length he was free to do as he liked , and he had more invitations to play than he could manage to accept , and at night , when the citizens used to go and drink in the inn , the landlord always begged Tiidu to come and play to them . Thus he grew so rich that very soon he had his silver pipes covered with gold , so that they glistened in the light of the sun or the fire . In all Kungla there was no prouder man than Tiidu . In a few years he had saved such a large sum of money that he was considered a rich man even in Kungla , where everybody was rich . And then he had leisure to remember that he had once had a home , and a family , and that he should like to see them both again , and show them how well he could play . This time he would not need to hide in the ship 's hold , but could hire the best cabin if he wished to , or even have a vessel all to himself . So he packed all his treasures in large chests , and sent them on board the first ship that was sailing to his native land , and followed them with a light heart . The wind at starting was fair , but it soon freshened , and in the night rose to a gale . For two days they ran before it , and hoped that by keeping well out to sea they might be able to weather the storm , when , suddenly , the ship struck on a rock , and began to fill . Orders were given to lower the boats , and Tiidu with three sailors got into one of them , but before they could push away from the ship a huge wave overturned it , and all four were flung into the water .
Luckily for XXXXX an oar was floating near him , and with its help he was able to keep on the surface of the water ; and when the sun rose , and the mist cleared away , he saw that he was not far from shore .
