What was his real surprise, when he saw that the slops thrown out of his house, did actually fall down; and, besides, the contents of the full bucket, when emptied, kept on dripping into the chimney of a house which stood far below, but which he had never seen before. WHAT WAS HIS REAL SURPRISE WHEN HE SAW THAT THE SLOPS THROWN OUT OF HIS HOUSE DID ACTUALLY FALL DOWN AND BESIDES THE CONTENTS OF THE FULL BUCKET WHEN EMPTIED KEPT ON DRIPPING INTO THE CHIMNEY OF A HOUSE WHICH STOOD FAR BELOW BUT WHICH HE HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE
es, he talked to himself and, speaking out loud, said: "Why don't my cows get well?" "I'll tell you," said a voice behind him. It seemed half way between a squeak and a growl. He turned round and there he saw a little, angry man. He was dressed in red, and stood hardly as high as the farmer's knee. The little old man glared at the big fellow and cried out in a high tone of voice: "You must change your habits of disposing of your garbage, for other people have chimneys besides you." "What has that to do with sickness among my cows?" "Much indeed. Your family is the cause of your troubles, for they throw all their slops down my chimney and put out my fire." The farmer was puzzled beyond the telling, for he owned all the land within a mile, and knew of no house in sight. "Put your foot on mine, and then you will have the power of vision, to see clearly." The farmer's big boot was at once placed on the little man's slipper, and when he looked down he almost laughed at the contrast in size.
