"no," replied the man, "but i must not remove the bandage, for whatsoever i look at with my eyes, splits to pieces, my glance is so powerful. if you can use that, i shall be glad to serve you." "come with me," replied the king’s son, "i can make use of thee." they journeyed onwards and found a man who was lying in the hot sunshine, trembling and shivering all over his body, so that not a limb was still. "how canst thou shiver when the sun is shining so warm?" said the king’s son. "alack," replied the man, "i am of quite a different nature. the hotter it is, the colder i am, and the frost pierces through all my bones; and the colder it is, the hotter i am. in the midst of ice, i cannot endure the heat, nor in the midst of fire, the cold." "thou art a strange fellow," said the prince, "but if thou wilt enter my service, follow me." they travelled onwards, and saw a man standing who made a long neck and looked about him, and could see over all the mountains. "what art thou looking at so eagerly?" said the king’s son. the man replied, "i have such sharp eyes that i can see into every forest and field, and hill and valley, all over the world."
