    Shortly mother returns but no children are to be found in any bed. She beats and scolds the girl and in a short time goes shoping again. All this is repeated again and again until all the babies are gone.
    Mother goes off very broken-hearted to the shop. On place of the first she asks she gets one of her babies. In place of the next thing she got another baby, and in the end she had all her babies back again, and now she is very glad.
