[Illustration: "Going up to a little house, she found an old hag."]
She went in and struck her with a white rod, and turned her into a stone.
She then took the bag of gold and silver on her back and went home.
When the second daughter had been gone a year and a day and she hadn't come
back, the youngest daughter said: "My two sisters must be doing very well
indeed, and making great fortunes when they are not coming back, and it's a
shame for me to be sitting here doing nothing, either to help you, mother,
or myself. Make me a bannock and cut me a callop, till I go away and push
my fortune."
The mother did this and asked her would she have half of the bannock with
her blessing or the whole bannock without.
