    (continued from previous page)
    Every lick it hit him was like a blow of iron and every lick the begger hit the spirit was like a blow on a cushion.
    At last he said "bag swallow you" and it swallowed him. In the morning when the "master" came in to his surprise the man was living. The spirit gave him a lot of money if he would let him away. So instead of death he was rich for life.
