   would have to go away. The man went up on the top of the house and put it under the thatch.

   One day as she was churning milk the wind blew up the thatch of the house and when she looked up what did she see but the little red coat. She waited to finish the churning and when she had it finished she kissed the children and went away and was never seen again.
