- (continued from previous page)The two men wanted more wood to cook him and while they were looking for it they wanted some one to look after the man that was being cooking. They came as far as the tree where the woman was, one of them saw her and called her and she came down. They put her minding the other man and they told her not to let him burn or blacken or if she did they would do the same to herself.
But when they were gone she cleared away and she saw a light on top of a mountain and she made for it. She ate her supper, when she went to bed, and she was so tired that she knew no one until morning she found out that it was her own house she was in.
So she was much delighted to see her father and mother and friends again.- Collector
