The boy started out upon his journey along the road that passed through the thick cloud, and when he had reached the other side of the cloud, he saw a large white house, as the stran¬ ger had told him he would. As he drew near, the master of the house came out and said: "What did you come here for?" "I came here looking for work," answered the boy. "I will give you work, if you can take care of horses," the master of the house said. So the boy stayed to care for the horses. One day one of the horses spoke to him. "My brother," he said, "why have you come here? It is an evil place. I was once as you are now, and I was set to tending horses as you are doing, until I, myself, was turned into a horse." "That will not happen to me, my brother," said the boy, "for I have come to rescue you." "Alas! You will never be able to do it," the enchanted brother said. One day, soon after this, the boy asked his master to allow him to take a ride. The master was willing; so the boy took out his enchanted brother from the stable, and rode him in the yard, and then galloped about.
