Tom got a purse, made of a water bubble, and received a threepenny piece to put into it. He had hard work to lift it on his back j and set forward on his journey. Tom's parents were glad to see him ; but he was so tired with carrying his threepenny piece, that his mother put him into a wullnut shell by the fireside, and gave him a hazel-nut to eat, which made him sick. Tom soon got better. And one day, when the wind blew towards the king's court, his mother made a parasol of tissue paper, tied ...him to it, and puffed him into the air, which carried him to the king's palace, just at the time the cook was passing the court-yard \vith a bowl of furmenty for the king, into which Tom fell, splashing it in the cook's face. She told the king that he had jumped into it out of mere mischief; on which his majesty ordered him to be tried for high treason, and he was condemned to be beheaded. On hearing this Tom trembled ; but seeing a miller near him with his mouth wide open, he jumped down his throat, and the miller went home to his mill.
