She followed him, and they brought the door up with them, so it wouldn't bring any notice to them, as it might if it was lying around.
They were only settled above when a band of robbers came along and where should they go, but under the very tree. They began to count their money: they were arguing about dividing it, and the woman got so excited that she let the door fall down on them.
The night was in it by this time and the robbers couldn't see them so they ran for their lives and left the money behind them.
The man got it and they never wanted for anything after. There bees luck on a fool sometimes.
