" Thee I am glad to drink with, " and as he said this he put down his keg, and began to tap the ale into a bowl. " Thou art an honest, trustworthy man, for thou treatest all alike, both rich and poor. " So he drank his health, and Death drank his health, and Death said he had never tasted such drink, and as the lad was fond of him, they drank bowl and bowl about, till the ale was lessened, and the keg grew light. At last Death said, " I have never known drink which smacked better, or did me so ...much good as this ale that you have given me, and I scarce know what to give you in return. " But, after he had thought awhile, he said the keg should never get empty, how- ever much they drank out of it, and the ale that was in it should become a healing drink, by which the lad could make the sick whole again better than any doctor. And he also said that when the lad came into the sick man's room, Death would always be there, and show himself to him, and it should be to him for a sure token if he saw Death at the foot of the bed that he could cure the sick with a draught from the keg; but if he sat by the pillow, there was no healing nor medicine, for then the sick belonged to Death.
