SOLVED. Miller's son in children's collection [s]

[Riss]

In 1973 I read an old book containing European children's stories. In one story a boy gets a job at a grain mill and is not accepted there. He returns later when he finds out he has inherited the mill and they accept him with a song. In another story a boy is working for a man in a village and unknowingly helps the man rob a house; the man uses a ladder to enter the second story of the house. Someone shows up and they flee. Days later the boy returns to the village, is forgiven and continues to be friends with the girl who lives in the house.
