A housekeeper who will not take no for an answer is blackened with tallow and soot as she sleeps, mistakes herself for the Deil himself, and foils two thieves again and again with one question she cannot stop asking; and a lad whose meal the North Wind blows away three times walks to the North Wind's house to demand his rights, and comes home with a cloth that serves up feasts, a ram that coins golden ducats, and a stick that lays on until it is told to stop. Two tales from Dasent's collection.
