a peasant whose garden produced excellent fruit. After he          2            

takes office, the peasant brought him as a present a very           3            

large apple which had grown in their garden. The king,              4            

remembering the pleasant hour that he had spent under the old    5            

man's roof, gave him a thousand of crowns(25便士). The lord  6            

of the village, heard of this , thought that if one who gave          7            

a common apple received so large a reward, one gave                8            

a really valuable present would receive an even large reward.      9           

He, however, offered a splendid horse. The king accepted it
