CHAPTER VI.

HEN once the voice of Rumble was lost in the distance, Johnny climbed out of the tree and found that none of his bones were broken.

All of a sudden in the hollow of the tree trunk he saw something shining like a will o' the wisp.

He put in his hands and pulled out A Goose with Golden Feathers!

'Here's luck at last,' says Johnny, 'I've lost a maid and found a golden goose! I'll have it roasted this very night,' and off he went to the best inn in the village.

Now the inn was full of people going to the fair on St. Calixtus's day, which was a great festival.

However, Johnny, being but a village idiot, had never heard anything about all that.

Up he comes and goes to the landlord, who didn't know where to turn, he had so many customers, all going to the fair.

'Cook my goose!' says Johnny, as bold as brass.

'Oh, you go to—Jerusalem,' says the landlord, 'we don't cook gold geese here, not to-day, we don't.'
