"Tie her to the foot of the old woman's bed."
In the night he took away the cow. The next morning he demanded his cow.
"Take the old woman."
He went to another old woman and left the old dame, whom he killed during
the night. The next morning he demanded his old woman.
"There she is by the young girl."
He found her dead.
"Give me my old woman."
"Take the young girl."
He said to her: "From the thorn to the egg, from the egg to the hen, from
the hen to the buck, from the buck to the sheep, from the sheep to the
calf, from the calf to the cow, from the cow to the old woman, from the old
woman to the young girl, and now come and marry me."
