“Once upon a time a girl was sick in a house whatever they did for her it would not please her.”
Once upon a time a girl was sick in a house whatever they did for her it would not please her. One day a tailor was making clothes at the house. All the people of the house went out to milk the cows. The tailor watched her but she did not see him. She got a pipe and began to play and the tailor noticed she was an old little woman, The tailor thought of a plan. He got a shovel and left it in the fire until it was red hot. He told her he would strike her with it. She got up and ran out and the other girl came back.
