But that was because he had not yet bought new ones ; next day he appeared in respectable boots and fine clothes . Now , instead of a common soldier he had become a noble lord , and the people told him about all the grand doings of the town and the King , and what a beautiful Princess his daughter was . ` How can one get to see her ? ' asked the Soldier . ` She is never to be seen at all ! ' they told him ; ` she lives in a great copper castle , surrounded by many walls and towers ! No one except the King may go in or out , for it is prophesied that she will marry a common soldier , and the King can not submit to that . ' ' I should very much like to see her , ' thought the Soldier ; but he could not get permission . Now he lived very gaily , went to the theatre , drove in the King 's garden , and gave the poor a great deal of money , which was very nice of him ; he had experienced in former times how hard it is not to have a farthing in the world . Now he was rich , wore fine clothes , and made many friends , who all said that he was an excellent man , a real nobleman . And the Soldier liked that . But as he was always spending money , and never made any more , at last the day came when he had nothing left but two shillings , and he had to leave the beautiful rooms in which he had been living , and go into a little attic under the roof , and clean his own boots , and mend them with a darning-needle . None of his friends came to visit him there , for there were too many stairs to climb . It was a dark evening , and he could not even buy a light . But all at once it flashed across him that there was a little end of tinder in the tinder-box , which he had taken from the hollow tree into which the Witch had helped him down . He found the box with the tinder in it ; but just as he was kindling a light , and had struck a spark out of the tinder-box , the door burst open , and the dog with eyes as large as saucers , which he had seen down in the tree , stood before him and said : ` What does my lord command ? ' ` What 's the meaning of this ? ' exclaimed the Soldier . ` This is a pretty kind of tinder-box , if I can get whatever I want like this . Get me money ! '
he cried XXXXX the dog , and hey , presto !
