"Give me a hate of that fire you have" says she. "No" says the man. "I'll have it in spite of you," says she. She attacked him and knocked him. "Help filly" says the man. The filly gave her a kick and dashed out her brains. "Help hawk" says the man. The hawk flew and picked out her eyes. "Help hound" says the man. The hound came and pulled off her leg. "Don't kill me and I'll give you your brothers going home" she said. He killed her and got an enchanted rod inside her cloak.
