Story (continued)
“There were three stepbrothers living together in the Spa.”
(continued from previous page)He went into the bag and the man drove home the cattle. The two stepbrothers came along and threw the man into the lake. They turned home then and found the hill covered with cattle, and their stepbrother at home before them. They were wondered and asked him where he got the cattle. "On the bottom of the lake," says he, "and if I had help I could have brought twice as much. The other two went to the lake, and he went along with them. When they reached the lake one man said he would jump in first. The first man came up shouting, and the other asked what he wanted. The other man jumped after him, and their stepbrother went home and lived happily ever afterwards.
