The boys’ mother heard that a clergyman(牧师) in town had been successful in dealing with naughty children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys.

The clergyman, a huge man, sat the younger boy down and asked him seriously, “Where is God?”

The boy’s mouth dropped open, but he made no reply, sitting there with his mouth hanging open, wide-eyed. So the clergyman repeated the question in an even more serious voice. “Where’s God!!?” again the boy made no try to answer. So the clergyman raised his voice even louder and shook his finger in the boy’s face and shouted, “WHERE IS GOD?”

The boy screamed and ran away from the room, ran directly home and hid himself in the cupboard, closing the door heavily. When his elder brother found him in the cupboard, he asked, “What happened?”

The younger brother replied in a nervous voice, “We are in big trouble this time. God is missing—and they think WE did it!”

Once there, though, the boys began to fight and the water jug (壶) fell into the well. The boys looked into the well and thought of their father. They were afraid to go home.

Later hat day, the ravens returned for their meal. The girl hid behind the door and watched. When the seventh raven drank from his cup, something hit his mouth. The raven recognized it at once—it was his parents' ring. "I wish our sister were here, "he said, "and then we could be free.
