    the same thing happens. This goes on for a long time and by degrees no one is left; servant and all are gone.
    Then the mother goes up to the stealer and asks if he saw any of her sheep and the stealer makes up excuses. The mother says "Let me in to light my pipe" He answers Your shoes are too dirty and she says "I'll take off my shoes" Your stockings are too dirty" "I'll take off my stockings "Your feet are too dirty"" I'll take off my feet" Then all the children jump around shouting "Blood, blood, blood"
