/ y year and a day had gone by after
| the eldest daughter left home, and
when they found she had not returned,
I the second daughter got up and said:
] My sister must he doing we'll and
making her fortune, and isn't it a
/ shame for me to be sitting here doing
| nothing. either to help you, mother, or

! She said the whole hammock without,
and she set off. Then she said: If 1
am not back here in a year and a day,
! you may be sure that I am doing well
and making my fortune. and then she
/ went awa-y.
I She travelled away and away on be-
/ fore her, far further than I could tell
/ you, and twice as far as you could tell
/ me, until she came into a strange COun-
! try. and going up to a little house, she
! found an old bag living in it.
The Old bag asked her where she was
going.
She said she was going to push her
fortune
Said the bag: How would you like TO
stay here with me, for 1 want a girl?'
What will have to do" says she.
You'll have to wash me and dress
me and to sweep the house clean. and
on the peril of your life never to look
up the chimney" said the bag.
'All right she agreed to this.
The next day when the hag arose Ehe
washed her and dressed her, and when
the bag went out she swept the hearth,
and she thought il would be no i.arm to
have one look IN the chimney. and
there, what did she see but her own
mothers long leather bag of gold and
silver. So she took il down at once,
and getting it on her back. started
away for home as fast as she could
run.
But she had not gone far when she
met a horse grazing in a field, and when
he saw her, he said: Rub me, rub me,
for ! haven't been rubbed these seven
years"
But she only struck him with stick
she had in her hand and drove him out
of her way.
She did not so much further when
she met the sheep, who said: "Oh.
shear me, shear me, for 1 haven't been
sheared in seven years.
But she struck the sheep and sent 1t
scurrying away out of her way.
She had not gone much further when
she met the goat tethered, and he
said: "Oh, change my tether, change
my tether, for it hasn't been changed
in seven years.
