"You have guessed it, and now I am sure you will know where my money
is."
The servant was greatly troubled at this, and he winked to the doctor
to follow him out of the room, and no sooner did he do so than the
whole four who had stolen the gold stood before him, and said that
they would give it up instantly, and give him a good sum to boot,
provided he would not betray them, for if he did their necks would pay
for it. The doctor promised, and they conducted him to the place
where the gold lay concealed. The doctor was well pleased to see it,
and went back to the nobleman, and said--
"My lord, I will now search in my book and discover where the money
is."
Now the fifth servant had crept into an oven to hear what the doctor
said. He sat for some time turning over the leaves of his A, B, C
book, looking for the picture of the crowing cock, and as he did not
find it readily, he exclaimed--
"I know you are in here, and you must come out."
Then the man in the oven, thinking the doctor spoke of him, jumped out
in a great fright, saying--
"The man knows everything."
Then Doctor All-Wise showed the nobleman where the gold was hidden,
but he said nothing as to who stole it. So he received a great reward
from all parties, and became a very famous man.
