The sheep said: “Do you think I have nothing to do only watch your maids for you? You may go somewhere else and look for information.”
Then she went on till she met the goat. “O, goat, goat of mine, have you seen this maid of mine, with my tig, with my tag, with my long leather bag, and all the gold and silver I have earned since I was a maid?”
The goat said: “Do you think I have nothing to do only watch your maids for you? You can go somewhere else and look for information.”
Then she went on till she came to the lime-kiln. “O, lime-kiln, lime-kiln of mine, did you see this maid of mine, with my tig, with my tag, with my long leather bag, and all the gold and silver I have earned since I was a maid?”
Said the lime-kiln: “Do you think I have nothing to do only to watch your maids for you? You may go somewhere else and look for information.”
Next she met the cow. “O, cow, cow of mine, have you seen this maid of mine, with my tig, with my tag, with my long leather bag, and all the gold and silver I have earned since I was a maid?”
The cow said: “Do you think I have nothing to do only watch your maids for you? You may go somewhere else and look for information.”
Then she got to the mill. “O, mill, mill of mine, have you seen this maid of mine, with my tig, with my tag, with my long leather bag, and all the gold and silver I have earned since I was a maid?”
The mill said: “Come nearer and whisper to me.”
She went nearer to whisper to the mill, and the mill dragged her under the wheels and ground her up.
The old Hag had dropped the white rod out of her hand, and the mill told the young girl to take this white rod and strike two stones behind the mill door. She did that, and her two sisters stood up. She hoisted the leather bag on her back, and the three of them set out and traveled away and away till they reached home.
The mother had been crying all the time while they were away, and was now ever so glad to see them, and rich and happy they all lived ever after.
