The young man picked it up , and put it in his pouch and then went towards home again . Near the hut was a small barn in which he kept the produce of the little patch of corn , which grew close to the garden . Here a rat ran out almost under his feet , followed by another and another ; but quick as thought the cat was upon them and not one escaped her . When all the rats were killed , the young man left the barn . He took the path leading to the door of the hut , but stopped on feeling a hand laid on his shoulder . ` Young man , ' said the ogre -LRB- for such was the stranger -RRB- , ` you have been a good son , and you deserve the piece of luck which has befallen you this day . Come with me to that shining lake yonder , and fear nothing . ' Wondering a little at what might be going to happen to him , the youth did as the ogre bade him , and when they reached the shore of the lake , the ogre turned and said to him : ` Step into the water and shut your eyes ! You will find yourself sinking slowly to the bottom ; but take courage , all will go well . Only bring up as much silver as you can carry , and we will divide it between us . ' So the young man stepped bravely into the lake , and felt himself sinking , sinking , till he reached firm ground at last . In front of him lay four heaps of silver , and in the midst of them a curious white shining stone , marked over with strange characters , such as he had never seen before . He picked it up in order to examine it more closely , and as he held it the stone spoke . ` As long as you hold me , all your wishes will come true , ' it said . ` But hide me in your turban , and then call to the ogre that you are ready to come up . ' In a few minutes the young man stood again by the shores of the lake . ` Well , where is the silver ? ' asked the ogre , who was awaiting him . ` Ah , my father , how can I tell you ! So bewildered was I , and so dazzled with the splendours of everything I saw , that I stood like a statue , unable to move .
Then hearing steps approaching I got frightened , and called to you , XXXXX you know . '
