    she tried it and when she went to the chest it was bursting with flour. She knelt down and thanked God. So then the man said "Now bake bread for your children and dont have them hungry." She told the man that she had no place to put him to sleep. So he said he was alright here until morning. She and her children went to bed. When they arose in the morning the gentleman was gone. From that off she was getting rich and the rich one was getting poor.
