    sod there were steps, and the first woman they came to the skull said "This is my first wife the nicest woman in the world." The woman smiled and the skull made a grin at her and she disappeared. Then they moved on and another woman appeared to them and the skull said "This is my second wife, the worst woman in the world", and she made a grin at the skull and disappeared.
    Now the skull told the man not to be greedy any-more and to give people their rights. The man went home and told his wife what had happened and they were never greedy to the people any-more
