There was once a man who understood all kinds of arts; he served in war, and behaved well and bravely, but when the war was over he received his dismissal, and three gold coins for his expenses on the way. "Stop," said he, "I shall not be content with this. If I can only meet with the right people, the King will yet have to give me all the treasure of the country."
Then, full of anger he went into the forest, and saw a man standing therein who had plucked up six trees as if they were blades of corn. He asked him to be his servant and the strong man agreed. When they had walked on for a short while they found a huntsman who was kneeling, had shouldered his gun, and was able to shoot two miles from where he was. The master asked the huntsman to be with them and progressed on their journey. After a while, they came to seven windmills whose sails were turning round with great speed, and yet no wind was blowing either on the right or the left, and no leaf was stirring. Upon looking, they saw a man sitting on a tree blowing the windmills using with his own nostril.
