The farmer quickly cut a thick branch, carefully approached and handed thread drowning. When he got out, he could not calm the tears, he was trembling.
 - Come to my house - the farmer said. - You need to calm down and keep warm
.  - No, no, - the boy shook his head - I was waiting for my father. He must be very worried.
After thanking his savior, the boy ran away ... And in the morning the farmer saw that his home drove a carriage drawn by thoroughbreds. well-dressed gentleman came out of the coach and asked:
 - It's you last saved the life of my son
?  - Yes, I am, - the farmer replied
.  - How much do I owe you
?  - Do not hurt me, mister. You do not have anything to me. I did what had to do a normal person.
 - No, I can not leave it just like that, because my son is very dear to me. Name any sum, - insisted visitor
.  - I do not want to talk about it. Bye. - The farmer turned to leave. And here on the porch, jumped out of his son.
 - Is your son? - I asked the guest
.  - Yes, - the farmer replied proudly, stroking the boy's head
.  - Let's do so. I'll take your son with me to London and paid for his education. If he is as noble as his father, neither you nor I will not regret this decision.
