    "Do you not know the bargain I made with you when we got married"? she said. "I was to get three back-loads of anything I ask for out of the house if we had a row." She put the child up on her back and left him outside the house. The next thing she called for was all the money in the house, put it up on her back and left it outside the door also. She went in and told the king that he was the next back-load she came for.
    He asked her to bring in all she had outside. She did and they lived happily together after that.
