"And as he was thus clearing the ground, he found a tiny, gold key." |
Hereupon he thought that where the key was, the lock must be also, and dug in the ground and found an iron chest. "If the key does but fit!" thought he; "no doubt there are precious things in that little box." He searched, but no keyhole was there. At last he discovered one, but so small that it was hardly visible. He tried it, and the key fitted it exactly.
Then he turned it once round, and now we must wait until he has quite unlocked it and opened the lid, and the we shall learn what wonderful things were lying in that box.
