When he found himself safe, he was overjoyed to think that he had got the Water of Life; and as he was going on his way homewards, he passed by the little dwarf, who, when he saw the sword and the loaf, said, You have made a noble prize; with the sword you can at a blow slay whole armies, and the bread will never fail you.
