    (continued from previous page)
    In ten minutes they landed, and again knocked at the door, when they got no answer, they called to the feet-water to let them in. "I can't" said the feet water, "as I am as far out as yourself," They called to the cake, "no," said the cake, "for someone broke me," They called to the chairs, "no," said the chairs, "I'm quite empty," and so on, they kept asking but everything was done right.
    Then the cock crew, and the women disappeared, but ever after, that family did everything right before they went to bed and the fairies kept out.
