The book of Brownies (The Enchanted World)
“They soon passed the borders of Fairyland and found themselves in the Lands Outside. For a long, long time they walked, and met nobody at all.
‘I am getting hungry!’ sighed Hop.
‘So am I!’ said Skip.
‘Well, look! There’s a cottage,’ said Jump. ‘We’ll go and ask if we can have something to eat. Have you got any money, Hop?’ Hop felt in his pockets.
‘Not a penny,’ he answered.
‘Oh dear, nor have I,’ said Skip.
‘What are we to do then?’ asked Jump. ‘Perhaps there’s someone kind living in the cottage, who will give us some breakfast for nothing.’ The three brownies went up to the little cottage. It was surrounded by trees and its front door was painted a very beautiful bright blue.
Hop knocked loudly.
‘Who is knocking at my door?’ asked a deep voice.
‘Three hungry brownies,’ answered Hop boldly.
