Shut up your front door, build a wall in its place, and then my family will not suffer from yours." The rich farmer thought all this was very funny, and he had a hearty laugh over it all. Yet he did exactly as the little man in the red cloak had so politely asked him. SHUT UP YOUR FRONT DOOR BUILD A WALL IN ITS PLACE AND THEN MY FAMILY WILL NOT SUFFER FROM YOURS THE RICH FARMER THOUGHT ALL THIS WAS VERY FUNNY AND HE HAD A HEARTY LAUGH OVER IT ALL YET HE DID EXACTLY AS THE LITTLE MAN IN THE RED CLOAK HAD SO POLITELY ASKED HIM
he 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. 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. But as soon as he took his foot off that of the tiny little man, he saw nothing. Everything like a building vanished as in a dream. "I see that my family have done wrong and injured yours. Pray forgive me. I'll do what I can to make amends for it." "It's no matter now, if you only do as I ask you. 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 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 BUT AS SOON AS HE TOOK HIS FOOT OFF THAT OF THE TINY LITTLE MAN HE SAW NOTHING EVERYTHING LIKE A BUILDING VANISHED AS IN A DREAM I SEE THAT MY FAMILY HAVE DONE WRONG AND INJURED YOURS PRAY FORGIVE ME I'LL DO WHAT I CAN TO MAKE AMENDS FOR IT IT'S NO MATTER NOW IF YOU ONLY DO AS I ASK YOU
