DOCTOR KNOWALL(3 / 3)

On this the servants looked terribly uneasy, and made a sign to the doctor that they wished him to step outside for a moment. When therefore he went out,all four of them confessed to him that they had stolen the money, and said that they would willingly restore it and give him a heavy sum into the bargain, if he would not denounce them, for if he did they would be hanged. They led him to the spot where the money was concealed. With this the doctor was satisfied, and returned to the hall, sat down to the table, and said:\\u0027My lord, now will I search in my book where the gold is hidden.\\u0027 The fifth servant, however, crept into the stove to hear if the doctor knew still more. But the doctor sat still and opened his A B C book, turned the pages backwards and forwards, and looked for the cock. As he could not find it immediately he said: \\u0027I know you are there, so you had better come out!\\u0027 Then the fellow in the stove thought that the doctor meant him, and full of terror, sprang out, crying: \\u0027That man knows everything!\\u0027 Then Doctor Knowall showed the lord where the money was, but did not say who had stolen it, and received from both sides much money in reward, and became a renowned man.
