the old man disappeared and the wood
cutter TUNED homeward in great joy
Having been overtaken by night on
his way. he turned into little inn and
informed the inn keeper, who was an
old acquaintance. of his good fortune
and in order to give greater weight to
his word he at once made trial of the
table cloth and provided jolly good
supper for the inn keeper and his wife
from the dainty dishes that were served
upon the cloth. After supper he lay
down on the bench to sleep. and in the
meantime the wicked wife OF the inn
keeper hemmed similar cloth and by
morning exchanged it for that of the
wood cutter. He, suspeeting nothing,
hurried home with the exchanged cloth

another lamb to take home, and was
very much surprised that it would not
give the gold for which he asked.
He went to the wood again and
treated the beggar well. and also told
him what happened to the tablecIoth
and the lamb. The beggar was not
surprised, but gave him a club and
said TO him: IF the inn keeper has
changed your cloth and lamb. you can
regain them by means of this club.
