Harry was lazy, and although he had nothing else to do but

drive his goat daily to pasture, he nevertheless groaned when

he went home after his day's work was done. "It is indeed a

heavy burden," said he, "and a wearisome employment to drive

a goat into the field this way year after year, till late into the

autumn! If one could but lie down and sleep, but no, one

must have one's eyes open lest it hurts the young trees, or

squeezes itself through the hedge into a garden, or runs away

altogether. How can one have any rest, or peace of one's life?"

He seated himself, collected his thoughts, and considered how he

could set his shoulders free from this burden. For a long time

all thinking was to no purpose, but suddenly it was as if scales

fell from his eyes. "I know what I will do," he cried, "I will marry

fat Trina who has also a goat, and can take mine out with hers,

and then I shall have no more need to trouble myself."

So Harry got up, set his weary legs in motion, and went right

across the street, for it was no farther, to where the parents of

fat Trina lived, and asked for their industrious and virtuous

daughter in marriage. The parents did not reflect long. "Birds

of a feather, flock together," they thought, and consented.

So fat Trina became Harry's wife, and led out both the goats.

Harry had a good time of it, and had no work that he required

to rest from but his own idleness. He only went out with her

now and then, and said, "I merely do it that I may afterwards

enjoy rest more, otherwise one loses all feeling for it."

But fat Trina was no less idle. "Dear Harry," said she one day,

"why should we make our lives so toilsome when there is no need

for it, and thus ruin the best days of our youth? Would it not

be better for us to give the two goats which disturb us every

morning in our sweetest sleep with their bleating, to our neighbor,

and he will give us a beehive for them. We will put the beehive in

a sunny place behind the house, and trouble ourselves no more

about it. Bees do not require to be taken care of, or driven into

the field; they fly out and find the way home again for themselves,

and collect honey without giving the very least trouble." "Thou hast

spoken like a sensible woman," replied Harry. "We will carry out thy

proposal without delay, and besides all that, honey tastes better and

nourishes one better than goat's milk, and it can be kept longer too."

The neighbor willingly gave a beehive for the two goats. The bees

flew in and out from early morning till late evening without ever

tiring, and filled the hive with the most beautiful honey, so that

in autumn Harry was able to take a whole pitcherful out of it.

They placed the jug on a board which was fixed to the wall of

their bed-room, and as they were afraid that it might be stolen

from them, or that the mice might find it, Trina brought in a

stout hazel-stick and put it beside her bed, so that without

unnecessary getting up she might reach it with her hand, and

drive away the uninvited guests.

Lazy Harry did not like to leave his bed before noon. "He who

rises early," said he, "wastes his substance."

One morning when he was still lying amongst the feathers in

broad daylight, resting after his long sleep, he said to his wife,

"Women are fond of sweet things, and thou art always tasting

the honey in private; it will be better for us to exchange it for a

goose with a young gosling, before thou eatest up the whole of

it." "But," answered Trina, "not before we have a child to take

care of them! Am I to worry myself with the little geese, and

spend all my strength on them to no purpose." "Dost thou think,"

said Harry, "that the youngster will look after geese? Now-a-days

children no longer obey, they do according to their own fancy,

because they consider themselves cleverer than their parents, just

like that lad who was sent to seek the cow and chased three blackbirds."

"Oh," replied Trina, "this one shall fare badly if he does not do what

I say! I will take a stick and belabour his skin for him with more blows

than I can count. Look, Harry," cried she in her zeal, and seized the

stick which she had to drive the mice away with, "Look, this is the way

I will fall on him!" She reached her arm out to strike, but unhappily hit

the honey-pitcher above the bed. The pitcher struck against the wall and

fell down in fragments, and the fine honey streamed down on the ground.

"There lie the goose and the young gosling," said Harry, "and want no looking

after. But it is lucky that the pitcher did not fall on my head. We have all

reason to be satisfied with our lot." And then as he saw that there was still

some honey in one of the fragments he stretched out his hand for it, and said

quite gaily, "The remains, my wife, we will still eat with a relish, and we will

rest a little after the fright we have had. What matters if we do get up a little

later the day is always long enough." "Yes," answered Trina, "we shall always

get to the end of it at the proper time. Dost thou know that the snail was once

asked to a wedding and set out to go, but arrived at the christening. In front of

the house it fell over the fence, and said, 'Speed does no good.'"
