But the dead men did not hear and let their rags go on burning . Then he got angry , and said : `` If you are n't careful yourselves , then I ca n't help you , and I do n't mean to burn with you '' ; and he hung them up again in a row . Then he sat down at his fire and fell asleep . On the following morning the man came to him , and , wishing to get his fifty dollars , said : `` Now you know what it is to shudder . '' `` No , '' he answered , `` how should I ? Those fellows up there never opened their mouths , and were so stupid that they let those few old tatters they have on their bodies burn . '' Then the man saw he would n't get his fifty dollars that day , and went off , saying : `` Well , I 'm blessed if I ever met such a person in my life before . '' The youth went too on his way , and began to murmur to himself : `` Oh ! if I could only shudder ! if I could only shudder ! '' A carrier who was walking behind him heard these words , and asked him : `` Who are you '' `` I do n't know , '' said the youth . `` Where do you hail from ? '' `` I do n't know . '' `` Who 's your father ? '' `` I may n't say . '' `` What are you constantly muttering to yourself ? '' `` Oh ! '' said the youth , `` I would give worlds to shudder , but no one can teach me . '' `` Stuff and nonsense ! '' spoke the carrier ; `` come along with me , and I 'll soon put that right . ''
The youth went with the carrier , and XXXXX the evening they reached an inn , where they were to spend the night .
