    The girl got a pair of shears and cut all the wool off the skin. She then gave him the price of the wool and she gave him back the skin and kept the wool.
    The boy then went home with the skin and the price of it.
    His father then sent for the girl who bought the wool from his son and he told her not to come in the day, not to come in the night, and not to come by road or by highway.
