Works Mrs. EB Maw
In antiquity, in a village, there is a very poor woodcutter, so she just has an ax to work and support his children and his wife. With great difficulty could he earn six pence (a type of currency) every day. He and his wife had to toil from dawn until late at night so that they can live with no running out of food. When they rest, they will not get anything.
"What should I do?" He said, one day, "I am now very tired, my wife and children do not have anything to eat, and I've not been as strong as it used to be holding an ax, to gain a slice of bread for my family. Ah, so bad luck for the poor, when they are born into this world. "
While he was still complaining, a voice called compassionately: "What are you complaining about?"
"What I do not like to complain, if I do not have food?" He said. "Go home," said the voice, "dig the ground in the corner of your garden, and you will find a treasure under a dead branch.
When the woodcutter heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground, and said: "Sir, do you call yourself? Who are you with so kind? "
"My name is Merlin," the voice said.
"Ah! Sir, God be blessed you when you come help me and save my family from destitution. "
"Go quickly," said the voice, "and in one year, come back here and give me an account of what you have done with the money you find in the corner of your garden."
"Sir, I'll see you in the know, or every day, if you command me."
Then the woodcutter went home, dug up the ground on the corner of the yard and there he found the treasure that has been promised. How happy they had been separated from the family because of poverty.
Because they do not want the neighbors to know why they suddenly become rich, he still went into the forest with an ax, so as if he worked hard and slowly lifted out of poverty into prosperity.
At the end of the year, he went into the forest to fulfill his promise. And the voice said, "So you finally came!" "Yes sir," "And how do you spend the treasure?" "Sir, my family has been able to eat good food and dress nice, and we are always grateful to you every day. "
"The situation you are now to be better then, but tell me, if there are things that you want?" "Ah, yes, sir, I want to be mayor in my place."
"Well, in forty days you will become mayor."
"Oh, a thousand thanks, pelingdungku good."
In the second year, the woodcutter who came to the forest rich with new clothes and wearing excellent attribute that he is mayor.
"Mr. Merlin," he called, "come and speak to me."
"I am here," said the voice, "what do you expect?"
"A high-ranking officials died yesterday, and my son, with your help, want to replace it, I ask for your kindness."
"In forty days, it shall be done," said Merlin.
Similarly, within forty days, his son became high officials, and they are still not satisfied.
At the end of the third year, the woodcutter is looking for Merlin in the forest again, and with a humble voice, he said: "Merlin, will you help me?"
"What do you want?" The voice said.
"My daughter is hoping to be married to an officer," he said. "Your wish will come true," replied Merlin, and in forty days, woodcutter's daughter married to an officer.
And so it finally time went by, until the end of the fourth year, the wise wife sent him back there to thank him, but the woodcutter replied: "Why do I have to log back into the forest to talk to creatures that I have never seen? I am now very rich, having many friends, and my name is highly respected everyone. "
"Go again," said his wife, "You give him greetings and thank him for all his kindness."
Finally woodcutter with his horse, followed by two servants, into the woods and began to shout: "Merlot! Merlot! I do not need you anymore, because now I am rich enough. "Merlin replied," Looks like you forgot when you were poor, not eating enough, with only your hatchet, and could scarcely earn sixpence every day! I I give you a blessing the first time, you kneel down with both feet, and call me 'sir', after the second blessing, you just call me 'Father' and after the third one, you call the 'Merlin' course, now boastfully you call me 'Merlot'! You may think that you have a very rich and live well and do not need anymore to me, Let us see later, this time you do not have a good heart and always act stupid, continue to be stupid, and still be poor as when I first met with you. "The woodcutter laugh, shrugged his shoulders and did not believe what he was told.
He returned to his home, but quickly his son who is now a high-ranking official, died, his daughter who became the wife of an officer is also seriously ill and eventually died. Misfortune befall him continuously and when the war broke out, soldiers from both sides of the war, entered his home, seizing drinks and food granaries, burned all his fields, as well as his home, so he did not have a penny of money.
When it came time to pay taxes, he had no money in his pocket, so he was forced to sell all his farm. "Look," said the woodcutter ungrateful man, weeping, "I've lost everything I have, money, farm, horses, my children! Why I do not believe in Merlin? only death that has not picked me up, I can not stand with this suffering. "
"Not so," said his wife, "We have to start working hard again." "With what?" Said the woodcutter, "We have not even a donkey to work!"
"With what God has given us," said his wife again.
God just gave them a basket, borrowed from neighbors. With this basket on his back and an ax in his hand, he finally went to the forest to chop wood work, trying to find wood to get a six pence a day.
Since then, he had never heard the voice of Merlin.
