    (continued from previous page)
    did you come to me for you will not have a large quantity of butter any more. All is fair, you were not wronging anybody, but one day the fairies were passing by your house and they were fighting. They had nothing to fight with so they threw the butter at each other. Some of it fell on the branches of the elder-tree and this how you have so much butter.
    The two brothers went away sorrowful. But they had already made a lot of money and they were content.
