So he continued his journey , and after walking a long way he reached an orchard . Then he saw some people knocking down walnuts , and trying to throw them into a cart with a fork . ` What are you doing there ? ' he asked . ` We want to load the cart with our walnuts , but we ca n't manage to do it . ' The lover advised them to get a basket and to put the walnuts in it , so as to turn them into the cart . ` Well , ' he said to himself , ' I have already found someone more foolish than those three . ' So he went on his way , and by-and-by he came to a wood . There he saw a man who wanted to give his pig some acorns to eat , and was trying with all his might to make him climb up the oak-tree . ` What are you doing , my good man ? ' asked he . ' I want to make my pig eat some acorns , and I ca n't get him to go up the tree . ' ` If you were to climb up and shake down the acorns the pig would pick them up . ' ` Oh , I never thought of that . ' ` Here is the second idiot , ' said the lover to himself . Some way farther along the road he came upon a man who had never worn any trousers , and who was trying to put on a pair . So he had fastened them to a tree and was jumping with all his might up in the air so that he should hit the two legs of the trousers as he came down . ` It would be much better if you held them in your hands , ' said the young man , ` and then put your legs one after the other in each hole . ' ` Dear me to be sure ! You are sharper than I am , for that never occurred to me . '
And having found three people more foolish than his bride , or her father or her mother , the lover went back XXXXX marry the young lady .
