Hans In Luck

At last he could go no farther, for the stone tired him sadly. Hans dragged himself to the bank of a river. He was still very thirsty because it was hot and he had not had any milk. Hans laid the stone carefully by his side on the bank - but as he stooped down to drink, his rear end pushed it a little. The stone rolled down, plop into the stream. Hans watched it sink in the deep water. Then he sprang up and danced for joy, and thanked the universe for taking away his only plague, the ugly heavy stone.
