The wold then said to him Go to bed the cows will be at home before you. He went to bed and he fell asleep and when he awoke in the morning there was he but near his own reek of hay. He got up and looked for the cows in the field but they were nowhere to be seen. He looked in the next field and there he saw the three loveliest cows you ever saw.
