_______________
One day a girl was going through the fields, and she found a comb and brought it home. That night an old woman came to the window crying for the comb. After a long time the girl's father had to hand it out to her on a red hot tongs, and she broke the tongs into two halves
The girl did not sleep for two weeks afterwards.
