    morning she saw a child in the cradle. She turned round to look at it and it turned into a dragon. When the dragon got big he told her he would swallow her if she would not give him a hundred pounds. The woman said she wished not have the child. When morning came he asked her for the hundred pounds and she said she had not got it. He swallowed her and the house in a minute.
