The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Grimm's Fairy Tales by Brothers Grimm: descend, by untying yonder cord, and then thou shalt enter.' So the
student let him down, opened the sack, and set him free. 'Now then,'
cried he, 'let me ascend quickly.' As he began to put himself into the

unto thee? Rest there in peace, till thou art a wiser man than thou
wert.'
So saying, he trotted off on the student's nag, and left the poor
fellow to gather wisdom till somebody should come and let him down.
