    and the match was settled. The couple got married and lived happily together for some time. One day they had a row and the wise man ordered the girl home. She said that she wanted her three wishes and she got them. First she wished for three bags of gold and she got them. Secondly she wished for her three sons and she got them. Thirdly she wished for himself to come on her back. Then they went into their house again and lived happily until they died.
