    Her father told him, that he could marry his other daughter, but she was not, as nice, as the other one. He was afraid, that the girls father might punish him. In a few weeks time, the ugly girl got married. When the Priest was saying the marriage sermon he said, "From this day forward," and the man thought he said, from this day fortnight. When the fortnight was up, he wanted to bring the girl back, again to her father, for he thought he had her long enough.
