` Open the sack , ' called out Little Klaus ; ` creep in here instead of me , and you will die in a moment ! ' ' I will gladly do that , ' said the cattle-driver ; and he opened the sack , and Little Klaus struggled out at once . ` You will take care of the cattle , wo n't you ? ' asked the old man , creeping into the sack , which Little Klaus fastened up and then went on with the cows and oxen . Soon after Big Klaus came out of the church , and taking up the sack on his shoulders it seemed to him as if it had become lighter ; for the old cattle-driver was not half as heavy as Little Klaus . ` How easy he is to carry now ! That must be because I heard part of the service . ' So he went to the river , which was deep and broad , threw in the sack with the old driver , and called after it , for he thought Little Klaus was inside : ` Down you go ! You wo n't mock me any more now ! ' Then he went home ; but when he came to the cross-roads , there he met Little Klaus , who was driving his cattle . ` What 's this ? ' said Big Klaus . ` Have n't I drowned you ? ' ` Yes , ' replied Little Klaus ; ` you threw me into the river a good half-hour ago ! ' ` But how did you get those splendid cattle ? ' asked Big Klaus . ` They are sea-cattle ! ' said Little Klaus . ' I will tell you the whole story , and I thank you for having drowned me , because now I am on dry land and really rich ! How frightened I was when I was in the sack !
