` Yes , come along , ' replied he . But the mother ran up , saying , ` The child must not go out in this cold or he will be ill ; ' to which he only answered , ` Nonsense ! I am going , so it is no use your talking ! I am going ! I am ! I am ! ' ` Then go ! ' she said . And so they started , driving the goats in front of them . When they reached the pasture the boy said to his uncle : ` Dear uncle , this night my father means to kill you . While we are away he will creep into your room and hide in the straw . Directly we get home my mother will say to you , `` Take that straw and give it to the sheep , '' and , if you do , he will bite you . ' ` Then what am I to do ? ' asked the man . ` Oh , do not be afraid , dear uncle ! I will kill my father myself . ' ` All right , ' replied the uncle . As they drove back the goats towards the house , the sister cried : ` Be quick , dear brother , go and get me some straw for the sheep . ' ` Let me go , ' said the boy . ` You are not big enough ; your uncle will get it , ' replied she .
` We will both get it , ' XXXXX the boy ; ` come , uncle , let us go and fetch that straw ! '
