There was once upon a time a poor peasant called Crabb, who drove with two oxen a load of wood to the town, and sold it to a doctor for two talers. When the money was being counted out to him,it so happened that the doctor was sitting at table, and when the peasant saw how well he ate and drank, his heart desired what he saw, and would willingly have been a doctor too. So he remained standing a while,and at length inquired if he too could not be a doctor.\\u0027Oh, yes,\\u0027 said the doctor, \\u0027that is soon managed.\\u0027 \\u0027What must I do?\\u0027 asked the peasant. \\u0027In the first place buy yourself an A B C book of the kind which has a cock on the frontispiece; in the second, turn your cart and your two oxen into money, and get yourself some clothes, and whatsoever else pertains to medicine;thirdly, have a sign painted for yourself with the words: \\\"I am Doctor Knowall,\\\" and have that nailed up above your house-door.\\u0027 The peasant did everything that he had been told to do. When he had doctored people awhile, but not long, a rich and great lord had some money stolen. Then he was told about Doctor Knowall who lived in such and such a village, and must know what had become of the money.

And when the first servant came with a dish of delicate fare, the peasant nudged his wife, and said:\\u0027Grete, that was the first,\\u0027 meaning that was the servant who brought the first dish. The servant, however,thought he intended by that to say: \\u0027That is the first thief,\\u0027 and as he actually was so, he was terrified, and said to his comrade outside: \\u0027The doctor knows all: we shall fare ill, he said I was the first.\\u0027 The second did not want to go in at all, but was forced. So when he went in with his dish, the peasant nudged his wife, and said:\\u0027Grete, that is the second.\\u0027 This servant was equally alarmed, and he got out as fast as he could. The third fared no better, for the peasant again said: \\u0027Grete, that is the third.\\u0027 The fourth had to carry in a dish that was covered, and the lord told the doctor that he was to show his skill, and guess what was beneath the cover.Actually, there were crabs. The doctor looked at the dish, had no
