IX . The Long Way Home Gudbrand goes a little way . Then he meets a man with a horse . “ A horse is better than a cow , ” thinks Gudbrand . So he swaps with the man . He gives the man his cow , and he takes the horse . A little way on , he meets a man with a fat pig . “ A fat pig is better than a horse , ” thinks Gudbrand . So he gives the man his horse , and he takes the pig . A little way on , he meets a man with a goat . “ A goat is better than a pig , ” thinks Gudbrand . So he gives the man his pig , and he takes the goat . He goes on a good way . Then he meets a man with a sheep . “ A sheep is better than a goat , ” thinks Gudbrand . So he gives the man his goat , and he takes the sheep . After a while he meets a man with a goose . So Gudbrand gives the man his sheep , and he takes the goose . He walks a long , long time . Then he meets a man with a cockerel . “ A cockerel is better than a goose , ” thinks Gudbrand . So he gives the man his goose , and he takes the cockerel . Now it is late in the day . Gudbrand is very , very hungry . So he sells the cockerel for a shilling . A shilling is a small coin . With the shilling he buys some food . “ It is better to eat than to have a cockerel , ” he thinks . At last he comes near his home . He stops at the house of a friend and goes in . “ Well , Gudbrand , ” says his friend . “ How did it go in town ? ” “ Oh , so - so , ” says Gudbrand . “ Not very good and not very bad . ” Then he tells his friend the whole story . “ Oh dear ! ” says his friend . “ Your wife will be very angry with you . I am glad I am not you ! ” “ Oh no , ” says Gudbrand . “ My wife is very kind . She never says a bad word about anything I do . ” “ I hear you , ” says his friend . “ But I do not believe you . ” “ Let’s have a bet , ” says Gudbrand . “ I have a hundred dollars at home . You put a hundred dollars on it too . ” “ Yes ! ” says his friend . “ I will bet with you . ” X . What the Wife Says Gudbrand stays at his friend’s house until evening . When it gets dark , the two men go to Gudbrand’s house . The friend stands outside the door and listens . Gudbrand goes in to his wife . “ Good evening ! ” says Gudbrand . “ Good evening ! ” says his wife . “ Oh , is that you ? I am so glad ! ” She asks him about his day in town . “ Oh , only so - so , ” says Gudbrand . “ Nobody wanted to buy the cow . So I swapped the cow for a horse . ” “ For a horse ! ” says his wife . “ Oh , thank you ! Now we can drive to church , like other people . Run out , child , and put the horse in the stable ! ”
