    a wee grain of oatmeal. The old woman said that she had not very much but that she would give her a part of what he had. The wee woman opened a little bag and put the meal into it, and told her she would never want oat meal any more.
    The wee woman said good-bye and went out. The old woman followed her to the door and the wee woman was nowhere to be seen. From that day until she died the grain of oat-meal never got any smaller no matter how much she took out.
