The Boy and the North Wind - Part Three

 

The boy went to North Wind's house again and told North wind that the cloth did not provide any food.

Though North wind was surprised on hearing it he did not say anything. 

Finally North wind decided to help the boy again and gave the boy a sheep. The sheep made gold coins as soon as the boy asked the sheep to make money.

The boy took the sheep and this time it was too, the boy could not get home in a single night. 

So he spent time in the same inn that he had done before.

However this time before spending time at the inn the boy decided to try the powers of the sheep to know whether it actually worked or not and also to make sure that he could pay the innkeeper after the night.

The sheep gave the boy a lot of money.

The landlord of the inn saw the power of the sheep and he became greedy. 

At night when the boy was fast asleep the landlord exchanged the sheep for another one of his own.

Unknown of all this, the boy took the sheep and went to his own.

When nothing worked in front of his mother, the boy realized that something was seriously wrong and decided to meet the North Wind again.
