As soon as Hans recovered himself a little he looked at his rescuer , and saw he was the dwarf he had found seated in the church bell . ` Ah ! ' said the dwarf , seating himself quietly under the tree . ` You laughed at me when I told you that some day I might do you a good turn . Now you see I was right , and perhaps you will learn for the future not to despise any creature , however small . ' ' I thank you from my heart , ' answered Hans . ` My bones are still sore from their blows , and had it not been for you I should indeed have fared badly . ' ' I have almost paid my debt , ' went on the little man , ` but as you have suffered already , I will do more , and give you a piece of information . You need not remain any longer in the service of that stingy minister , but when you get home to-morrow go at once to the north corner of the church , and there you will find a large stone built into the wall , but not cemented like the rest . The day after to-morrow the moon is full , and at midnight you must go to the spot and get the stone out of the wall with a pickaxe . Under the stone lies a great treasure , which has been hidden there in time of war . Besides church plate , you will find bags of money , which have been lying in this place for over a hundred years , and no one knows to whom it all belongs . A third of this money you must give to the poor , but the rest you may keep for yourself . ' As he finished , the cocks in the village crowed , and the little man was nowhere to be seen . Hans found that his limbs no longer pained him , and lay for some time thinking of the hidden treasure . Towards morning he fell asleep . The sun was high in the heavens when his master returned from the town . ` Hans , ' said he , ` what a fool you were not to come with me yesterday ! I was well feasted and entertained , and I have money in my pocket into the bargain , ' he went on , rattling some coins while he spoke , to make Hans understand how much he had lost . ` Ah , sir , ' replied Hans calmly , ` in order to have gained so much money you must have lain awake all night , but I have earned a hundred times that amount while I was sleeping soundly .
