He gives him, then, a great deal of money, and he goes home. His wife
is confined shortly afterwards, and they were waiting, not knowing
what to do to tell it to the godfather, since they did not know where
he lived. He himself appeared from somewhere. They go to the church,
and he gives him the name Malbrouk. While they were returning to the
house, the godfather disappears with the child like smoke. The father
and mother were distressed about it, though they had plenty of money;
but in time their grief faded away.
The old Malbrouk went to his house. His wife was a witch, and they had
three daughters. The little Malbrouk grew fast, and at seven years'
old he was as tall as a tall man. His godfather said to him:
"Malbrouk, would you like to go to your own home?"
