TREASURE AND TROUBLE
On a day in a dry summer Sheremiah's wife Catrin drove her cows to drink at the pistil which is in the field of a certain man. Hearing of that which she had done, the man commanded his son: "Awful is the frog to open my gate. Put you the dog and bitch on her. Teach her will I."
It was so; and Sheremiah complained: "Why for is my spring barren? In every field should water be."
"Say, little husband, what is in your think?" asked Catrin.
