The servant said to her, "Stay here; I will tell her so at once."

They call the old woman in, and she told them that she had seen an

old woman leaping and bounding from one ditch to another, and saying

all the time:

"Houpa, houpa, Marie Kirikitoun; nobody will remember my name."

When this young lady heard that, she was merry at once, and writes down

this name at once. She recompensed highly the old woman, and she was

very happy; and when the other old woman came she knew her name. [55]
