    (continued from previous page)
    great feast and the King said whichever one of them would eat a cow that he'd be the best. The boy put a goatskin on him and when they were eating, the boy put the meat inside the goat's skin instead of down in his belly and when they had done eating they said that whichever of them would cut his stomach and wouldn't die, that he'd be the best.
    The boy cut the goatskin and the King cut his stomach and died. The boy went back to the man and got all the riches he had.
