Long did the old man and the hare puzzle together how this was to be done , and at last they decided that they would make two boats , a small one of wood and a large one of clay . Then they fell to work at once , and when the boats were ready and properly painted , the hare went to the Tanuki , who was still very ill , and invited him to a great fish-catching . The Tanuki was still feeling angry with the hare about the trick he had played him , but he was weak and very hungry , so he gladly accepted the proposal , and accompanied the hare to the bank of the river , where the two boats were moored , rocked by the waves . They both looked exactly alike , and the Tanuki only saw that one was bigger than the other , and would hold more fish , so he sprang into the large one , while the hare climbed into the one which was made of wood . They loosened their moorings , and made for the middle of the stream , and when they were at some distance from the bank , the hare took his oar , and struck such a heavy blow at the other boat , that it broke in two . The Tanuki fell straight into the water , and was held there by the hare till he was quite dead . Then he put the body in his boat and rowed to land , and told the old man that his enemy was dead at last . And the old man rejoiced that his wife was avenged , and he took the hare into his house , and they lived together all their days in peace and quietness upon the mountain . The Flying Trunk Translated from the German of Hans Andersen . There was once a merchant who was so rich that he could have paved the whole street , and perhaps even a little side-street besides , with silver . But he did not do that ; he knew another way of spending his money . If he spent a shilling he got back a florin-such an excellent merchant he was till he died . Now his son inherited all this money . He lived very merrily ; he went every night to the theatre , made paper kites out of five-pound notes , and played ducks and drakes with sovereigns instead of stones . In this way the money was likely to come soon to an end , and so it did . At last he had nothing left but four shillings , and he had no clothes except a pair of slippers and an old dressing-gown . His friends did not trouble themselves any more about him ; they would not even walk down the street with him . But one of them who was rather good-natured sent him an old trunk with the message , ` Pack up ! '' That was all very well , but he had nothing to pack up , so he got into the trunk himself . It was an enchanted trunk , for as soon as the lock was pressed it could fly .
He pressed it , and away he flew XXXXX it up the chimney , high into the clouds , further and further away .
If except from in into so than that to while
