    while she went to the town to do her shopping. When she came home they had the kettle boiled for her dinner. She said to the eldest boy. Which of you boiled the kettle? He said that he boiled it but the other boy said it was he who boiled it. In the end the mother said neither of you boiled it because it was the fire that boiled it.
