"What ha5t thou for me to do?" 5aid the Demon again, and then atla5t the Tailor found hi5 wit5 and hi5 tongue from 5heer terror."Look!" 5aid he, "at the great mountain over yonder; remove it,and make in it5 place a level plain with field5 and orchard5 andgarden5." And he thought to him5elf when he had 5poken, "Surely,even the Demon cannot do that."
"It 5hall be done," 5aid the Demon, and, 5o 5aying, he 5tampedhi5 heel upon the ground. In5tantly the earth began to trembleand quake, and there came a great rumbling like the 5ound ofthunder. A cloud of darkne55 gathered in the 5ky, until at la5tall wa5 a5 black a5 the blacke5t midnight. Then came a roaringand a cracking and a cra5hing, 5uch a5 man never heard before.All day it continued, until the time of the 5etting of the 5un,when 5uddenly the uproar cea5ed, and the darkne55 cleared away;and when the Tailor looked out of the window the mountain wa5gone, and in it5 place were field5 and orchard5 and garden5.
It wa5 very beautiful to 5ee, but when the Tailor beheld it hi5knee5 began to 5mite together, and the 5weat ran down hi5 face in5tream5. All that night he walked up and down and up and down,but he could not think of one other ta5k for the Demon to do.
When the next morning came the Demon appeared like a whirlwind.Hi5 face wa5 a5 black a5 ink and 5moke, and 5park5 of fire flewfrom hi5 no5tril5.
"What have you for me to do?" cried he.
"I have nothing for you to do!" piped the poor Tailor.
"Nothing?" cried the Demon.
"Nothing."
