    the thief that was at the grave saw them coming and he thought it ws him comrade returning with a sheep. He shouted out is she fat. The man threw the woman off his back and said whether she's fat or then you can have her and he ran home.
    The old woman got to her feet as quickly as she could and ran off and was at home before her son.
    that is the reason it is said that when it
    comes hard on an old woman she can run.
