    off to the wood for a flale. When Furl got her away he ripped the bag and put in a dog a cat and a calf and tied the bag again and brought the steed of bells away, When she came she began to beat the bag but she soon found her mistake for after awhile the bag ripped and out came the calf's foot her dog, and her cat. She ran to where the bells were and found them gone. Furl Gar began to mock her and ran towards the river and she was able to cross. She said she would forgive him for all if he would tell her how he crossed the river. When I am coming I pull hair out of my head and throw it in so the old woman said "when I cross, if you were to the end of the world I will follow you." She ran to the river and pulled a hand full of out of her head and jumped on it and was drowned.
