The woman was so lazy that she never wanted to do any wo

2、rk. She never finished what the man gave her to spin, and what she did spin she did not wind onto a reel, but left it tangled on the bobbin. If the man scolded her, she always had a quick tongue, and would say, “Well, howcan I wind it up? I don ' t have a reel. First you must go into the woods a

3、nd get me one. ”“If that ' s the problem, “ said the man, “then I ' ll go into the woods, and get some wood for a reel. ”Then the woman was afraid that once he had the wood, he would make a reel out of it, and she would have to wind up her yarn, and then begin to spin with an empty wheel. Sh

4、e thought about this a little while, and then a good idea came to her. She secretly followed the man into the woods. Whenhe had climbed into a tree to select and cut the wood, she crept into the brush below, where he could not see her, and cried upward:Cut wood for a reel, and you shall die, Wind on

5、to it, and ruin your life.The man listened, laid down his ax for a while, and thought about what it could mean.“Well, " he said at last, “what can it have been? Your ears must have been ringing. Don ' t get alarmed for nothing. " So he took hold of the ax once more and was about to cho

6、p away when again there came a call from below:Cut wood for a reel, and you shall die, Wind onto it, and ruin your life.He stopped, took fright, and wondered what was happening. But a little while later he took heart again, and for a third time he reached for the ax and was aboutto chop away.But for

7、 a third time there came a call from below, saying loudly:Cut wood for a reel, and you shall die, Wind onto it, and ruin your life.That was enough for him. He no longer had any desire to cut wood, so he hastily climbed down from the tree, and set forth toward home.The woman took a shortcut and ran a

8、s fast as shecould in order to get home first. When he entered the parlor, she put on an innocent look as if nothing had happened, and said, “Well, did you bring a good piec e of wood for a reel? ”“No," he said, “I see very well that winding onto a reel is not possible, " and he told her w

9、hat had happened to him in the woods. From then on he said nothing more about it.Nevertheless, a short time later the man began to complain again about the disorder in the house.“Wife, “ he said,“it is a real shame that the spunyarn is just lying there on the bobbin.”“Do you know what? ” she said. a

10、Because we still don ' t have a reel, you go up into the loft. I will stand down below and throw the bobbin up to you, then you will throw it down to me, and thus we can make a skein after all. ”“Yes, that will work, " said the man.So they did it, and when they were finished, he said,“The y

11、arn is skeined. Now it must be boiled. ”Th e woman was again concerned, and said,“Yes,we will boil it early tomorrow morning," but she wassecretly planning another trick.Early in the morning she got up, started a fire, and put the kettle on. However, instead of the yarn, she put in a clump of t

12、ow and let it boil away. Then she went to the man who was still lying in bed, and said to him, “I must go out for a while. Get up now and look after the yarn in the kettle on the fire. Do it right now, because if the cock crows and you are not looking after the yarn, it will turn into tow.”The man agreed, and did not delay. He got up at once, as fast as he could, and went into the kitchen. But when he reached the kettle and looked in, he saw with horror nothing but a clump of tow.Afterward the poor man was as quiet as a mouse an
