NOW he had quite finished his bath, and as he left the bathroom he cried:
‘Two into the sack.’
And the two crept back at once into the sack.
Then the man took both sacks, the good and the bad one, and went away home.
When he was near the house he shouted: ‘Hallo, old woman, come and meet me!’
His wife only screamed out:
‘You broomstick, come here! Your back shall pay for this.’
The man went into the cottage, hung his sack on a nail, and said, as the crane had taught him:
‘Two out of the sack.’
Instantly two pretty lads sprang out of the sack, brought in oak tables, laid silken covers on them, and spread them with all sorts of delicious dishes and refreshing drinks.
