    After a time he got drunk and they put him into a Shop-keeper's store. When the shop-keeper came out in the morning, he found the man there. The shop-keeper said the man was stealing and that he would cut off his head. He prepared him for the execution by fastening him to a cart.
    The man said that it was not fair for a man to die without his cap and at his request the shop-keeper gave him his cap. The man then said "Fly away Cap" and himself and the cart flew away until they arrived in Scotland.
