A Story (continued)
“Once upon a time there lived in a forge a blacksmith and his wife and mother.”
(continued from previous page)the door very easy. The fairy asked her to give him a piece of bread. The servant told him she could not get any bread as the master was dying. She also told him that there was a great reward for anybody who could cure him. The fairy said he would cure him. He put down a pot of boiling water and cut the head off the man. He put the head down in the pot and when it was well boiled he put it on the man again. The man sat up in the bed and the fairy got the reward. He came home with the blacksmith and cured the women for him. The fairy went off and the blacksmith lived happily afterwards.
