cried the husband.
"They are not wolves" observed
the wife, "but sheep"
"Tdrn round the, cart, and take
us home" ordered the husband of the
servant. And this was accordingly
done.
A third time the farmer asked his
wife if they ought not to pay a visit
to her old parents, and as she ac-
quiesced eagearly, the horses were
once more harnessed. They had
gone over deal of ground, when
they met n flock of hens.
"Quite truo," said the wife.

1t was now the third husbands
