   you no gold said the fairy. The girl put down her head on her knees and started to cry. Now it was late in the night and she said to herself it is time to go home. When she went home her Aunt scolded her for staying away. Then she told her the whole story, and her Aunt laughed, and said indeed you need gold if you did that. It is bedtime now.
