and the youth showed him the bit of moss and the bottle of water , and said : ` Yes here may you behold their meat , and here their drink , ' the King once more became wroth , and commanded that three red stripes should be cut on the lad 's back , that salt should be strewn upon them , and that he should then be instantly chased back to his own home . So when the youth got home again he too related all that had happened to him , and he too said that he had gone out in search of a place once , but that never would he do it again . On the third day Cinderlad wanted to set out . He had a fancy to try to watch the seven foals himself , he said . The two others laughed at him , and mocked him . ` What I when all went so ill with us , do you suppose that you are going to succeed ? You look like succeeding -- you who have never done anything else but lie and poke about among the ashes ! ' said they . ` Yes , I will go too , ' said Cinderlad , ` for I have taken it into my head . ' The two brothers laughed at him , and his father and mother begged him not to go , but all to no purpose , and Cinderlad set out on his way . So when he had walked the whole day , he too came to the King 's palace as darkness began to fall . There stood the King outside on the steps , and he asked whither he was bound . ' I am walking about in search of a place , ' said Cinderlad . ` From whence do you come , then ? ' inquired the King , for by this time he wanted to know a little more about the men before he took any of them into his service . So Cinderlad told him whence he came , and that he was brother to the two who had watched the seven foals for the King , and then he inquired if he might be allowed to try to watch them on the following day . ` Oh , shame on them ! ' said the King , for it enraged him even to think of them . ` If thou art brother to those two , thou too art not good for much . I have had enough of such fellows . '
` Well , but as I have come here , you might just give me leave XXXXX make the attempt , ' said Cinderlad .
