    thief with the lady kicked away the sheet from under the lady and brought it away with him. When the man came into the house the lady said to him. "It is not so long since you were here before. When the man looked for the sheet it was gone. So they left the country the next morning and the thief came in and lived there happily. It was his smartness that left him there.
