What a dreadful storm it was! The
night was so black that little Hans could
hardly see, and the wind was so strong
that he could scarcely stand. However,
he was very courageous, and after he
had been walking about three hours,
he arrived at the Doctor ’s house, and
knocked at the door.
’Who is there?’ cried the Doctor,
putting his head out of his bedroom
window.
’Little Hans, Doctor.’
’What do you want, little Hans?’
’The Miller ’s son has fallen from
a ladder, and has hurt himself, and the
Miller wants you to come at once.’
