sisters had given her so little to eat.  so she sat down on a ridge and began to
weep, and so bitterly that two streams ran down from her eyes.  and

one corner to another, throw old clothes at me, and give me nothing
to eat but the scraps they leave?  to-day they have given me so little
that i am still quite hungry."  then the wise woman said, "wipe away
thy tears, two-eyes, and i will tell thee something to stop thee ever
suffering from hunger again; just say to thy goat,
