makes it much shorter if one comes on the land and drives across
the field to the river。 Thus I have spared myself quite half a
mile； and have come much quicker to my sea…cattle！'
'Oh； you're a lucky fellow！' said Big Klaus。 'Do you think I
should also get some cattle if I went to the bottom of the
river？'
'Oh； yes！ I think so；' said Little Klaus。 'But I can't carry
you in a sack to the river； you are too heavy for me！ If you
like to go there yourself and then creep into the sack； I will
throw you in with the greatest of pleasure。'
'Thank you；' said Big Klaus； 'but if I don't get any sea…cattle
when I come there； you will have a good hiding； mind！'
'Oh； no！ Don't be so hard on me！' Then they went to the river。
When the cattle； which were thirsty； caught sight of the water；
they ran as quickly as they could to drink。
'Look how they are running！' said Little Klaus。 'They want to go
to the bottom again！'
'Yes； but help me first；' said Big Klaus； 'or else you shall have
a beating！'
And so he crept into the large sack； which was lying on the back
of one of the oxen。 'Put a stone in； for I am afraid I may not
reach the bottom；' said Big Klaus。
'It goes all right！' said Little Klaus； but still he laid a big
stone in the sack； fastened it up tight； and then pushed it in。
Plump！ there was Big Klaus in the water； and he sank like lead
to the bottom。
'I doubt if he will find any cattle！' said Little Klaus as he
drove his own home。
