Show that it was an appropriate punishment that Hans should be turned into a Black Stone. His heart was as hard as stone, and his deeds were black. CHAPTER IV What is the main theme of this chapter? Schwartz's attempt to turn the river into gold. What are the chief incidents recorded? 1. Gluck paid Schwartz's fine. 2. Schwartz refused water to the child, the old man, and to the spirit of Hans. 3. He was also changed to a Black Stone. What were the indications that Schwartz would be unsuccessful? There was a "black cloud rising out of the West"; "a mist of the colour of blood"; "waves of the angry sea"; "bursts of spiry lightning"; "the sky was like ... a lake of blood"; "its waves were black, like thunderclouds"; "their foam was like fire"; "the lightning glared into his eyes". CHAPTER V What is the theme in the last chapter? Gluck's attempt to turn the river into gold. Give the main incidents. 1. The priest gave him holy water. 2. He gave water to the aged man and the child. 3. He gave his last drop of water to the dying dog. 4. The dog was transformed into the King of the Golden River. 5. He gave Gluck three drops of dew. 6. Gluck cast the water into the river. 7. Treasure Valley again became a fertile garden, and Gluck became very rich. What were the indications that Gluck would be successful? After giving the old man some water, the "path became easier"; "grasshoppers began singing"; there was "bright green moss"; "pale pink starry flowers"; "soft belled gentians"; "pure white transparent lilies"; "its waves were as clear as crystal". What strong contrast is brought out in this story? There is a contrast between this chapter and the two preceding ones. Gluck's conduct is so different from that of Schwartz and Hans; and the aspect of nature, as it appears to him, is very different from the scenes viewed by his brothers. Describe Treasure Valley after it was changed. The "fresh grass sprang beside the new streams"; "creeping plants grew"; "young flowers opened"; "thickets of myrtle and tendrils of vine cast lengthening shadows"; "his barns became full of corn and his house of treasure". Why did Gluck deserve so much kindness? He had been hospitable to South-West Wind, Esq.; had suffered hunger and punishment on his account; had been industrious; had freed the King of the Golden River from his enchantment; had obeyed his instructions; had felt sorry for Hans; had paid Schwartz's fine; and had shown mercy to animals and helpless people.
