` He sha n't have such a chance again , ' thought he ; and the next morning he insisted on plunging into a thick forest where they were likely to meet nobody . For a long time they wandered hither and thither , for they had no path to guide them ; but at last they came upon a wide clearing , in the midst of which stood a castle . Jack shouted with delight , but Martin , who was in a bad temper , said sharply : ` We must have taken a wrong turning ! Let us go back . ' ` Idiot ! ' replied Michael , who was hungry too , and , like many people when they are hungry , very cross also . ` We set out to travel through the world , and what does it matter if we go to the right or to the left ? ' And , without another word , took the path to the castle , closely followed by Jack , and after a moment by Martin likewise . The door of the castle stood open , and they entered a great hall , and looked about them . Not a creature was to be seen , and suddenly Martin -- he did not know why -- felt a little frightened . He would have left the castle at once , but stopped when Jack boldly walked up to a door in the wall and opened it . He could not for very shame be outdone by his younger brother , and passed behind him into another splendid hall , which was filled from floor to ceiling with great pieces of copper money . The sight quite dazzled Martin and Michael , who emptied all the provisions that remained out of their bags , and heaped them up instead with handfuls of copper . Scarcely had they done this when Jack threw open another door , and this time it led to a hall filled with silver . In an instant his brothers had turned their bags upside down , so that the copper money tumbled out on to the floor , and were shovelling in handfuls of the silver instead . They had hardly finished , when Jack opened yet a third door , and all three fell back in amazement , for this room as a mass of gold , so bright that their eyes grew sore as they looked at it . However , they soon recovered from their surprise , and quickly emptied their bags of silver , and filled them with gold instead . When they would hold no more , Martin said : ` We had better hurry off now lest somebody else should come , and we might not know what to do ' ; and , followed by Michael , he hastily left the castle . Jack lingered behind for a few minutes to put pieces of gold , silver , and copper into his pocket , and to eat the food that his brothers had thrown down in the first room . Then he went after them , and found them lying down to rest in the midst of a forest .
It was near sunset , and Martin began to feel hungry , so , when Jack arrived , he bade him return XXXXX the castle and bring the bread and cheese that they had left there .
