“ On a long table there were numbers of lighted candles in high silver candle-sticks, and never had Nibbles seen such wonderful things to eat,—nuts and raisins, figs and dates, oranges and grapes, cakes and candy.In a moment, Teenie Weenie and Nibbles had run across the room and jumped up on the table. Nibbles tried first one thing and then another, each tasting better than the last. ”

[Pg 31] “Hullo, Teenie Weenie!” called Nibbles. “Where did you come from?”“Why, I live in a village not far from here,” replied Teenie Weenie. “And where are you going, Cousin Nibbles?”“I am going to seek my fortune,” said Nibbles.“Oh, do let me come, too,” begged Teenie.“All right, come along,” answered Nibbles. “Two is company and one is none. Only don’t keep getting tired.” ”

“ I prize most in the world,” he said, “and your reward shall be in proportion. Every year, as long as you live, you shall receive a bag of gold.”Nibbles was almost too happy to speak, but he thanked the Prince and kissed his hand. A page was sent to bring the gold, and a few minutes later, Nibbles and Teenie Weenie, carrying the precious bag between them, were hurrying back to the raft.They found Mr. Scratchetty-Claw fast asleep, but Nibbles, dancing with joy, woke him up to hear the great news. ”
