There lived a man once who wanted to get his son married. He had a sheep skin in the house and he gave it to his son. He told him to go along until he would meet a girl that would give him the skin back and the price of it. He met a girl and she took the skin from him. She took the wool off the skin and paid him for the wool and gave back the skin. When he went home his father told him that she would have to be his bride.
