In vain the mother called the little boy to come in; he was jumping up and down before the house door, stamping, and calling to his father and mother and Jule and everyone to come out.

At last his father lost patience, and said decidedly that the door must be closed, and that the dinner should be ended in peace.

After dinner they all went into the garden, where Hunne joined them.

When he saw them all seated in safety under the apple-tree, he said with a sigh, "I wish some one would bring me my pudding, before the house falls down." His mother drew him to her, and explained to him that big Jule and little Hunne, were two very foolish fellows; the first to invent such silly stuff, and the second to believe it.

She begged him to think a bit how impossible it would be for two children like Wili and Lili to pull down a great strong stone house like theirs.
