But this clever son replied : ` If I give you my cake and wine I shall have none left for myself ; you just go your own way ; ' and he left the little man standing there and went further on into the forest . There he began to cut down a tree , but before long he made a false stroke with his axe , and cut his own arm so badly that he was obliged to go home and have it bound up . Then the second son went to the forest , and his mother gave him a good cake and a bottle of wine as she had to his elder brother . He too met the little old grey man , who begged him for a morsel of cake and a draught of wine . But the second son spoke most sensibly too , and said : ` Whatever I give to you I deprive myself of . Just go your own way , will you ? ' Not long after his punishment overtook him , for no sooner had he struck a couple of blows on a tree with his axe , than he cut his leg so badly that he had to be carried home . So then Dullhead said : ` Father , let me go out and cut wood . ' But his father answered : ` Both your brothers have injured themselves . You had better leave it alone ; you know nothing about it . ' But Dullhead begged so hard to be allowed to go that at last his father said : ` Very well , then -- go . Perhaps when you have hurt yourself , you may learn to know better . ' His mother only gave him a very plain cake made with water and baked in the cinders , and a bottle of sour beer . When he got to the forest , he too met the little grey old man , who greeted him and said : ` Give me a piece of your cake and a draught from your bottle ; I am so hungry and thirsty . ' And Dullhead replied : ` I 've only got a cinder-cake and some sour beer , but if you care to have that , let us sit down and eat . ' So they sat down , and when Dullhead brought out his cake he found it had turned into a fine rich cake , and the sour beer into excellent wine . Then they ate and drank , and when they had finished the little man said : ` Now I will bring you luck , because you have a kind heart and are willing to share what you have with others . There stands an old tree ; cut it down , and amongst its roots you 'll find something . ' With that the little man took leave . Then Dullhead fell to at once to hew down the tree , and when it fell he found amongst its roots a goose , whose feathers were all of pure gold .
He lifted it out , carried it off , and took it with him to an inn where he meant XXXXX spend the night .
