She went in and struck her with a white rod, and turned her into a stone. She then took the bag of gold and silver on her back and went home.
When the second daughter had been gone a year and a day and she hadn't come back, the youngest daughter said: "My two sisters must be doing very well indeed, and making great fortunes when they are not coming back, and it's a shame for me to be sitting here doing nothing, either to help you, mother, or myself. Make me a bannock and cut me a callop, till I go away and push my fortune."
The mother did this, and asked her would she have half of the bannock with her blessing, or the whole bannock without.
She said: "I will have half of the bannock with your blessing, mother."
The mother gave her a blessing and half a bannock, and she set out.
She traveled away and away on before her, far farther than I could tell you, and twice as far as you could tell me, until she came into a strange country, and going up to a little house, she found an old Hag living in it. The Hag asked her where she was going. She said she was going to push her fortune.
Said the Hag: "How would you like to stay here with me, for I want a maid?"
"What will I have to do?" said she.
"You'll have to wash me and dress me, and sweep the hearth clean; and on the peril of your life never look up the chimney," said the Hag.
"All right," she agreed to this.
