  “All right. I used to know way from the fireplace to the chimney. There is a hole connected to the outside world up there. We will use that hole to go out.” The Chimney Sweeper said and took the Shepherdess to a gate in the fireplace. “It is very dark in here!” The Shepherdess bravely climbed up the dirty passage through the fireplace with the Chimney Sweeper.

  Even though it was steep and long, the Chimney Sweeper pulled and pushed her. When they finally reached the end of the chimney, they got tired and sat down. They could see the sky of twinkling stars over their heads and the huge outside world. The Shepherdess never imagined that the outside world would be this big. She started to cry because she was so shocked.

  “It’s too big. I am not strong enough to face it. I want to go back to where I was staying, the table in front of the mirror. “The Chimney Sweeper tried to calm her down by telling her that the angry old Chinese guy and Goat Leg Billy were following them,but it did not work. They had to crawl down through the chimney and go back to the fireplace.

  From the dark fireplace, they looked up at the room. It was very quiet, and the old Chinese guy was lying down in the middle of the floor. He was broken into three pieces when he tried to chase them and fell down from the table. His back and head came off from his body. “Oh dear! That‘s because of us. What shall we do now?” The Shepherdess felt painful when she saw him. “He can be repaired and will be able to scold us as he used to. “Are you sure?” The Shepherdess was relieved and went back to the table where she was standing before. “All our efforts were in vain!” The Chimney Sweeper grumbled to himself.

  After that, the old Chinese guy could move his body again as she wished. He looked like new when he was fixed and nailed on his back. But he could not nod his head ever again. “So, will you let me marry her now?” Goat Leg Billy asked the old Chinese guy.

  The Chimney Sweeper and the Shepherdess waited for his answer nervously. At last the China lovers could stay together because the old Chinese guy could not nod his head any more, and he could not say “yes”. They loved each other and lived happily ever after until they were broken into pieces.
