ABSTRACT
There was this peasant and his wife and they had a daughter. A young man started courting this daughter, but the father and mother were not agreed, they wouldn’t give her to him. She spent all her time thinking of how she might get married to him. She was thinking of it, thinking that he had in fact come for her. “Open the window and get dressed!” She opened the window. “Pack all your things and let’s go.” So she packed all her things in a sleigh and did up the window. Everything was done up properly. She sat in the sleigh and rode off with him. People in the house didn’t hear her mother and father because they were working there. So he drove off with her and he was horrible to look at: he had iron teeth and crystal eyes. He said to her, “The moon lights the street, no one will know where the lad is taking the girl! Are you afraid of me?”
