Once upon a time, in the winter time, when deep snow laid
the ground, a poor boy was forced to go out on a sledge to gather timber. When
he had fetched it together, and packed it, he hoped, as he was so darn cold,
not to go home at once, but to light a fire and warm himself up a little.
So he
scraped away the snow, and as he was thus clearing the ground, he discovered a
tiny golden key. Hereupon he thought that where the key was, there must be a lock
also, so he dug in the ground and found a small iron chest. “The key fits in
here!” he thought; no doubt there are precious things in that little box. He
searched and searched, but there was no keyhole.
At last he founded one, but it
was so small that it was hardly visible. He tried it, and the key fitted it
perfectly. Then he turned it open, and we must wait until he has quite unlocked
it and opened the lid, and then we shall learn what wonderful things were lying
in that box.
