    Cooper's wife was an old woman and he said he would make her young, so he put her in the fire and the more he blew, the more he burnt the wife so then he was without his wife and his horse.
    Then when Franey came around again. He gave him a lantern to go around leading the people astray, as a "Willie the wisp".
