    the lady was inside and that she would sneeze three times and if nobody says "God bless us" they would have her. Then they said some words and they found themselves on the roof of the house inside. The lady sneezed first and nobody anything and she sneezed the second time and no one said anything. The third time she took out her handkerchief and sneezed and the youngest brother who was on the roof forgot himself and he said "God bless us", and then the other two let him fall down on the table and he broke everything that was on it. Everyone in the house rushed at him but when he told them the story they gave him food and drink and then sent him home.
