` Oh , good father , ' cried the young man , ` you will not forsake me ? Stay with me , I pray you , and lead me to the king ! ' ` If you wish it , I will , ' said the hermit , ` on condition that you will give me half of anything you get . ' ` Oh , if that is all , ' answered he , ` it is easily promised ! ' And they set out together on the ship . After they had gone some distance they saw a man standing in a thick fog , which he was trying to put into a sack . ` Oh , good father , ' exclaimed the youth , ` what can he be doing ? ' ` Ask him , ' said the old man . ` What are you doing , my fine fellow ? ' ' I am putting the fog into my sack . That is my business . ' ` Ask him if he will come with us , ' whispered the hermit . And the man answered : ` If you will give me enough to eat and drink I will gladly stay with you . ' So they took him on their ship , and the youth said , as they started off again , ` Good father , before we were two , and now we are three ! ' After they had travelled a little further they met a man who had torn up half the forest , and was carrying all the trees on his shoulders . ` Good father , ' exclaimed the youth , ` only look ! What can he have done that for ? ' ` Ask him why he has torn up all those trees . ' And the man replied , ` Why , I 've merely been gathering a handful of brushwood . ' ` Beg him to come with us , ' whispered the hermit .
And the strong man answered : ` Willingly , as long as you give me enough XXXXX eat and drink . '
