` Come with me , and I shall ask mother to give you some bread-and-butter and a glass of milk , ' said Little Lasse . ` Wait a little , ' said the dream-boy . And now Little Lasse saw that the kitchen door was open , and from within there was heard a low , pleasant frizzling , like that which is heard when one whisks yellow batter with a wooden ladle into a hot frying-pan . ` Perhaps we should sail back to Polynesia now ? ' said the happy dream-boy . ` No ; they are frying pancakes in Europe just now , ' said Little Lasse ; and he wanted to jump ashore , but he could not . The dream-boy had tied him with a chain of flowers , so that he could not move . And now all the little dreams came about him , thousands and thousands of little children , and they made a ring around him and sang a little song : The world is very , very wide , Little Lasse , Lasse , And though you 've sailed beyond the tide , You can never tell how wide It is on the other side , Lasse , Little Lasse . You have found it cold and hot , Little Lasse , Lasse ; But in no land is God not , Lasse , Little Lasse . Many men live there as here , But they all to God are dear , Little Lasse , Lasse . When His angel is your guide , Little Lasse , Lasse , Then no harm can e'er betide , Even on the other side Where the wild beasts wander . But tell us now , Whene'er you roam , Do you not find the best is home Of all the lands you 've looked upon , Lasse , Little Lasse ? When the dreams had sung their song they skipped away , and Nukku Matti carried Lasse back to the boat . He lay there for a long time quite still , and he still heard the frying-pan frizzling at home of the fire , the frizzling was very plain , Little Lasse heard it quite near him ; and so he woke up and rubbed his eyes . There he lay in the boat , where he had fallen asleep . The wind had turned , and the boat had drifted out with one wind and drifted in with another while Little Lasse slept , and what Lasse thought was frizzling in a frying-pan was the low murmur of the waves as they washed against the stones on the shore . But he was not altogether wrong , for the clear blue sea is like a great pan in which God 's sun all day makes cakes for good children . Little Lasse rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and looked around him . Everything was the same as before ; the crow in the birch tree , the cat on the grass , and the pea-shell fleet on the shore . Some of the ships had foundered , and some had drifted back to land .
Hercules had come back XXXXX its cargo from Asia , The Flea had arrived from Polynesia , and the other parts of the world were just where they were before .
