   stout strong men with two cudgels and began to flake the man and his wife and the children until they fell speechless on the floor. When the man recovered he went to the landlord he told him he had another bottle for him. When he reached the landlord's house he was giving a feast with the first bottle. The man told the landlord he would show him the bottle doing its duty before he would buy it. The man took the bottle into the dinning room there he told the bottle do its duty. The two men with the cudgel jumped out of the bottle and hammered everyone that was at the feast and the landlord himself until they were all knocked. The landlord told the man to stop them two devils the man said he would when he would get back the first bottle. The man stopped the two men with the cudgels and when he did the landlord gave him back the bottle. The man went home with the two bottles and they lived a long and happy life afterwards.
