The nobleman agreed, and gave both of them seats in his carriage, and they all drove off together. When they reached the nobleman's castle the dinner was ready, and Crabb was invited to sit down to table. 'Yes; but Grethe, my wife, must dine too'; and he seated himself with her. When the first Servant brought in a dish of choice food, the Peasant nudged his wife, and said: 'Grethe, that was the first,'--meaning that the servant was handing the first dish. But the servant thought he meant, 'That was the first thief.' As he really was the thief, he became much alarmed, and said to his comrades outside-- 'That Doctor knows everything, we shan't get out of this hole; he said I was the first.' The second Servant did not want to go in at all, but he had to go, and when he offered his dish to the Peasant he nudged his wife, and said--'Grethe, that is the second.' This Servant also was frightened and hurried out. The third one fared no better. The Peasant said again: 'Grethe, that is the third.' The fourth one brought in a covered dish, and the master told the Doctor that he must show his powers and guess what was under the cover. Now it was a dish of crabs. The Peasant looked at the dish and did not know what to do, so he said: 'Wretched Crabb that I am.' When the Master heard him he cried: 'There, he knows it! Then he knows where the money is too.' Then the Servant grew terribly frightened, and signed to the Doctor to come outside. When he went out, they all four confessed to him that they had stolen the money; they would gladly give it to him and a large sum in addition, if only he would not betray them to their Master, or their necks would be in peril. They also showed him where the money was hidden. Then the Doctor was satisfied, went back to the table, and said-- 'Now, Sir, I will look in my book to see where the money is hidden.' The fifth, in the meantime, had crept into the stove to hear if the Doctor knew still more. But he sat there turning over the pages of his ABC book looking for the cock, and as he could not find it at once, he said: 'I know you are there, and out you must come.' The man in the stove thought it was meant for him, and sprang out in a fright, crying: 'The man knows everything.' Then Doctor Know-all showed the nobleman where the money was hidden, but he did not betray the servants; and he received much money from both sides as a reward, and became a very celebrated man. The Seven Ravens There was once a Man who had seven sons, but never a daughter, however much he wished for one. At last, however, he had a daughter. His joy was great, but the child was small and delicate, and, on account of its weakness, it was to be christened at home. The Father sent one of his sons in haste to the spring to fetch some water; the other six ran with him, and because each of them wanted to be the first to draw the water, between them the pitcher fell into the brook.
