He came to the table, took his table-cloth, put it on the table and asked for food. But there was nothing on the table except the table-cloth.

So the boy went to the Northern Wind again. "Give me back our flour, because your table-cloth is good for nothing".

"I don't have any flour, said the Wind but I can give you a goat. This goat is magic. It can make golden coins."

The boy liked the idea, took the goat and went home. It was late evening when he came to the house of the old rich man. He stayed there for a night and decided to see if the Wind didn't deceive him. So he asked the goat to make some golden coins. The man was so surprised with the magic goat.

In the morning the boy took his bag and the goat and went home. When he came home he asked the goat to make some golden coins, but the goat stood quietly, looked at his master and made nothing for him.

The next day the boy went to the Wind again. This time he got a stick and it was a magic one. He took the stick and went to the man's house. He understood that it was the man who changed his table-cloth
