And the bride replied , ` Yes , you may sleep on the mat outside the door . ' So the princess gave her the spinning-wheel . And that night , winding the shawl all round her , so that no one could recognise her , she lay down on the mat outside the white wolf 's door . And when everyone in the palace was asleep she began to tell the whole of her story . She told how she had been one of three sisters , and that she had been the youngest and the fairest of the three , and that her father had betrothed her to a white wolf . And she told how she had gone first to the wedding of one sister , and then with her husband to the wedding of the other sister , and how her mother had ordered the servant to throw the white fur skin into the kitchen fire . And then she told of her wanderings through the forest ; and of how she had sought the white wolf weeping ; and how the wind and star and moon and sun had befriended her , and had helped her to reach his palace . And when the white wolf heard all the story , he knew that it was his first wife , who had sought him , and had found him , after such great dangers and difficulties . But he said nothing , for he waited till the next day , when many guests -- kings and princes from far countries -- were coming to his wedding . Then , when all the guests were assembled in the banqueting hall , he spoke to them and said : ` Hearken to me , ye kings and princes , for I have something to tell you . I had lost the key of my treasure casket , so I ordered a new one to be made ; but I have since found the old one . Now , which of these keys is the better ? ' Then all the kings and royal guests answered : ` Certainly the old key is better than the new one . ' ` Then , ' said the wolf , ` if that is so , my former bride is better than my new one . ' And he sent for the new bride , and he gave her in marriage to one of the princes who was present , and then he turned to his guests , and said : ` And here is my former bride ' -- and the beautiful princess was led into the room and seated beside him on his throne . ' I thought she had forgotten me , and that she would never return . But she has sought me everywhere , and now we are together once more we shall never part again . ' MOHAMMED WITH THE MAGIC FINGER Once upon a time , there lived a woman who had a son and a daughter . One morning she said to them : ' I have heard of a town where there is no such thing as death : let us go and dwell there . ' So she broke up her house , and went away with her son and daughter .
When she reached the city , the first thing she did was XXXXX look about and see if there was any churchyard , and when she found none , she exclaimed , ` This is a delightful spot .
