` To-morrow I will send him into the field to pick some beans for me , and you will find him there , and can eat him . ' ` Very well , ' replied the ogre , ` and this time I will take care to have him , ' and he went back to his lake . Next morning Motikatika was sent out with a basket , and told to pick some beans for dinner . On the way to the field he took out his bones and asked them what he was to do to escape from the ogre . ` Change yourself into a bird and snap off the beans , ' said the bones . And the ogre chased away the bird , not knowing that it was Motikatika . The ogre went back to the hut and told the woman that she had deceived him again , and that he would not be put off any longer . ` Return here this evening , ' answered she , ` and you will find him in bed under this white coverlet . Then you can carry him away , and eat him at once . ' But the boy heard , and consulted his bones , which said : ` Take the red coverlet from your father 's bed , and put yours on his , ' and so he did . And when the ogre came , he seized Motikatika 's father and carried him outside the hut and ate him . When his wife found out the mistake , she cried bitterly ; but Motikatika said : ` It is only just that he should be eaten , and not I ; for it was he , and not I , who sent you to fetch the water .

Junod -RRB- . -RSB- Niels And The Giants On one of the great moors over in Jutland , where trees wo n't grow because the soil is so sandy and the wind so strong , there once lived a man and his wife , who had a little house and some sheep , and two sons who helped them to herd them . The elder of the two was called Rasmus , and the younger Niels . Rasmus was quite content to look after sheep , as his father had done before him , but Niels had a fancy to be a hunter , and was not happy till he got hold of a gun and learned to shoot . It was only an old muzzle-loading flint-lock after all , but Niels thought it a great prize , and went about shooting at everything he could see . So much did he practice that in the long run he became a wonderful shot , and was heard of even where he had never been seen . Some people said there was very little in him beyond this , but that was an idea they found reason to change in the course of time . The parents of Rasmus and Niels were good Catholics , and when they were getting old the mother took it into her head that she would like to go to Rome and see the Pope .
The others did n't see much use in this , but she had her way XXXXX the end : they sold all the sheep , shut up the house , and set out for Rome on foot .
