There once was a soldier fighting the swedes. He had 

been away from his home in Poland for a long time.  

When he was heading home he came across two old 

men. The first one said,"Hello there fine soldier boy! 

Now where have you been soldiering?"   The soldier 

said," I've been in Sweden fighting the swedes. Now I 

am heading home."

"Ah, I wish we had a nice home to go to," said the first 

old man. "Some people have all the luck in the world. 

My name is Prot and this is Krot." " Yes, yes my name is 

Krot and he's Prot. At least we think so, but we're not 

sure. Anyway, what does it matter? The problem is that 

we have no home and no money between us." "Well, 

I've only two pennies left," said the soldier, drawing the 

coins from his pocket. "You can have them if you want 

them." He gave them the money, and their eyes 

twinkled as they exchanged looks.   

So the soldier was on his way walking along the river. When 

he had walked for a few hours he saw a roughly made raft 

carrying Prot and Krot. The soldier said "Where did you get 

that raft?" They said "Oh, bits and pieces. Do you have any 

food with you?" The soldier replied "Why yes I have a little 

bit of bread with me." Prot said "Well then hop on and we'll 

share it." Krot said "If you could have anything at all, then 

what would it be?" Prot said "A mansion made of gold?" 

"Well maybe some money in my pocket." said the soldier. 

"You know some wishes might come true," said Prot. "Yes 

like cake in the sky or soda in the river, no doubt!" said the 

soldier. No sooner had he spoken than a cake appeared in 

the sky and some root beer bobbed in the river.

They then munched on the cake and drank the soda. 

Then they said "This is where we leave you, my friend." 

So he was on his way. He came upon an inn where he 

would spend   the night. But he felt a heavy substance in 

his pocket. When he looked inside, he saw a bunch of 

gold pieces. He took some out to buy a dinner but then 

some new ones just appeared where the other ones 

were. So he had a wonderful dinner of roast beef and 

soup. What he did not know was that a robber was 

sitting by him. The robber sprang out and said "Give me 

your gold. I'll have it or your life." The soldier replied "I 

have put it in my knapsack." With that the robber 

jumped inside. The soldier ran outside and dumped him 

in a hole!
