ABSTRACT
There was once a certain Boy, a King's Son, who said that he was going out into the world. So he started off, and travelled on, and on, in the forest. Soon he came to a big lake, and he went round, and round the brink, but he could not see any footprints. Then he took out a handful of water, and drank it(1), and he took another handful, and gave it to his Dog. Then he said that he would see that very day what kind of Animal used to drink water there (2), so he climbed a tree, and his Dog lay down at its foot. The width of the water was like from here to the barracks (3).
