- (continued from previous page)it was she was there the whole night. When the dress was woven the woman could not cut the cloth, so she went back to the man's real wife and said she'd give her another night with the man if she'd lend her a wonderful scissors she had. She lent the scissors and got the night with the man, but he was in a sound sleep and couldn't hear her talking.
The woman cut out her dress but she couldn't get any needle to sew it, so she went to the woman again and said she'd give her a third night with the man if she'd lend her needle to sew the dress. The woman agreed but that day she was talking to a friend of the man's so she told him to tell the man not to take any drink that his wife would offer him at night. That night his wife brought him up a drink and he let on he was drinking it, but when he got her back turned he emptied it out. The other woman came in then and she told him all about the Glass Hill and he knew she was his real wife so the two slipped out the window and went home and lived happy after.
