When the prince got home he found that his wife had just got a fine little boy . He did not lose a moment in pricking the baby 's finger till the blood ran , and he brushed it on the wrists of the stone figure , which shuddered all over and split with a loud noise in seven parts and there was the faithful servant alive and well . When the old king saw this he foamed with rage , stared wildly about , flung himself on the ground and died . The servant stayed on with his royal master and served him faithfully all the rest of his life ; and , if neither of them is dead , he is serving him still . -LSB- From Ungarische Mahrchen . -RSB- The Hairy Man Somewhere or other , but I do n't know where , there lived a king who owned two remarkably fine fields of rape , but every night two of the rape heaps were burnt down in one of the fields . The king was extremely angry at this , and sent out soldiers to catch whoever had set fire to the ricks ; but it was all of no use -- not a soul could they see . Then he offered nine hundred crowns to anyone who caught the evil-doer , and at the same time ordered that whoever did not keep proper watch over the fields should be killed ; but though there were a great many people , none seemed able to protect the fields . The king had already put ninety-nine people to death , when a little swineherd came to him who had two dogs ; one was called ` Psst , ' and the other ` Hush ' ; and the boy told the king that he would watch over the ricks . When it grew dark he climbed up on the top of the fourth rick , from where he could see the whole field . About eleven o'clock he thought he saw someone going to a rick and putting a light to it . ` Just you wait , ' thought he , and called out to his dogs : ` Hi ! Psst , Hush , catch him ! ' But Psst and Hush had not waited for orders , and in five minutes the man was caught . Next morning he was brought bound before the king , who was so pleased with the boy that he gave him a thousand crowns at once . The prisoner was all covered with hair , almost like an animal ; and altogether he was so curious to look at that the king locked him up in a strong room and sent out letters of invitation to all the other kings and princes asking them to come and see this wonder . That was all very well ; but the king had a little boy of ten years old who went to look at the hairy man also , and the man begged so hard to be set free that the boy took pity on him . He stole the key of the strong room from his mother and opened the door . Then he took the key back , but the hairy man escaped and went off into the world . Then the kings and princes began to arrive one after another , and all were most anxious to see the hairy man ; but he was gone !
The king nearly burst with rage and XXXXX the shame he felt .
