interrupted he . ` And , if you are too deaf and too stupid to understand what that means , I have got something which may help to teach you . ' And opening the bag , he cried : ` Flack , flick , switch , be quick . ' And flack ! flick ! like lightening a white switch sprang out of the bag , and gave such hearty blows to the innkeeper and his wife , and to Father Grumbler into the bargain , that they all jumped as high as feathers when a mattress is shaken . ` Stop ! stop ! make it stop , and you shall have back your cock and basket , ' cried the man and his wife . And Father Grumbler , who had no wish to go on , called out between his hops : ` Stop then , ca n't you ? That is enough for to-day ! ' But the switch paid no attention , and dealt out its blows as before , and MIGHT have been dealing them to this day , if the Holy Man had not heard their cries and come to the rescue . ` Into the bag , quick ! ' said he , and the switch obeyed . ` Now go and fetch me the cock and the basket , ' and the woman went without a word , and placed them on the table . ` You have all got what you deserved , ' continued the Holy Man , ` and I have no pity for any of you . I shall take my treasures home , and perhaps some day I may find a man who knows how to make the best of the chances that are given to him . But that will never be YOU , ' he added , turning to Father Grumbler . -LSB- From Contes Populaires . -RSB- The Story of the Yara Down in the south , where the sun shines so hotly that everything and everybody sleeps all day , and even the great forests seem silent , except early in the morning and late in the evening -- down in this country there once lived a young man and a maiden .
