` Come with me , and you shall drink to your heart 's content . ' So he took him to the King 's cellar , and the man sat down before the huge casks and drank and drank till he drank up the whole contents of the cellar before the day closed . Then Dullhead asked once more for his bride , but the King felt vexed at the idea of a stupid fellow whom people called ` Dullhead ' carrying off his daughter , and he began to make fresh conditions . He required Dullhead to find a man who could eat a mountain of bread . Dullhead did not wait to consider long but went straight off to the forest , and there on the same spot sat a man who was drawing in a strap as tight as he could round his body , and making a most woeful face the while . Said he : ` I 've eaten up a whole oven full of loaves , but what 's the good of that to anyone who is as hungry as I am ? I declare my stomach feels quite empty , and I must draw my belt tight if I 'm not to die of starvation . ' Dullhead was delighted , and said : ` Get up and come with me , and you shall have plenty to eat , ' and he brought him to the King 's Court . Now the King had given orders to have all the flour in his kingdom brought together , and to have a huge mountain baked of it . But the man from the wood just took up his stand before the mountain and began to eat , and in one day it had all vanished . For the third time Dullhead asked for his bride , but again the King tried to make some evasion , and demanded a ship ` which could sail on land or water ! When you come sailing in such a ship , ' said he , ` you shall have my daughter without further delay . ' Again Dullhead started off to the forest , and there he found the little old grey man with whom he had shared his cake , and who said : ' I have eaten and I have drunk for you , and now I will give you the ship . I have done all this for you because you were kind and merciful to me . ' Then he gave Dullhead a ship which could sail on land or water , and when the King saw it he felt he could no longer refuse him his daughter . So they celebrated the wedding with great rejoicings ; and after the King 's death Dullhead succeeded to the kingdom , and lived happily with his wife for many years after . -LRB- 30 -RRB- -LRB- 30 -RRB- Grimm . THE SEVEN FOALS THERE was once upon a time a couple of poor folks who lived in a wretched hut , far away from everyone else , in a wood . They only just managed to live from hand to mouth , and had great difficulty in doing even so much as that , but they had three sons , and the youngest of them was called Cinderlad , for he did nothing else but lie and poke about among the ashes . One day the eldest lad said that he would go out to earn his living ; he soon got leave to do that , and set out on his way into the world .
He walked XXXXX and on for the whole day , and when night was beginning to fall he came to a royal palace .
