“I will give you my pearl necklace,” said Marygold.
“I don’t wish your pearl necklace,” said the pixie.
“I will give you my breast-pin,” said Marygold.
“I don’t wish your breast-pin,” said the pixie.
“Well, what can I give you?” asked Marygold.
“I wish your wedding-ring,” said the pixie. “You promised to give it to me some day.”
“Oh, oh, oh! please do not ask for my ring!” said Marygold.
“I will never take you home unless you give it to me,” said the pixie.
Then, at last, Marygold gave him the ring and he took her home.
