Great Claus travelled to the next town with his grand-mother in a cart. He shouted to the people that he was selling a dead body. The people said that Great Claus was crazy and asked him whose body is it and where did he get it from? Great Claus replied that it was his grandmother and it was he who killed her.He hoped that he would receive a bushel of money.The people then talked to Great Claus and told him that he had done a wicked deed and also told him that such a wicked man will be punished. Great Claus was so horrified that he jumped up ran into the cart whipped his horse and drove to his home.Again, he was angry at Little Claus so you might have guessed that when he reached home that he took another large thing to hit Little Claus.He told Little Claus that he shall not make a fool of him any more.So he held Little Claus round the body and pushed him in a sack and tied it up tightly so that he could not have escaped.He had a long way to travel before he arrived down by the river plus Little Claus was not a light man.'Oh Dear,' said Little Claus in the sack as he realized that he could not loosen the string. An old cattle driver passed by and stumbled against the sack and turned it over. Little Claus said that he was too young to go to heaven and the drover said that he was a poor felow so old already and still he ca'nt get there. Little Claus told him to open the sack and the drover followed instructions.
