Her mither did sae ; and the dochter gaed awa ' to an auld witch washerwife and telled her purpose . The auld wife bade her stay that day , and gang and look out o ' her back door , and see what she could see . She saw nocht the first day . The second day she did the same , and saw nocht . On the third day she looked again , and saw a coach-and-six coming along the road . She ran in and telled the auld wife what she saw . `` Aweel , '' quo ' the auld wife , `` yon 's for you . '' Sae they took her into the coach , and galloped aff . The second dochter next says to her mither : `` Mither , bake me a bannock , and roast me a collop , fur I 'm gaun awa ' to seek my fortune . '' Her mither did sae ; and awa ' she gaed to the auld wife , as her sister had dune . On the third day she looked out o ' the back door , and saw a coach-and-four coming along the road . `` Aweel , '' quo ' the auld wife , `` yon 's for you . '' Sae they took her in , and aff they set . The third dochter says to her mither : `` Mither , bake me a bannock , and roast me a collop , for I 'm gaun awa ' to seek my fortune . '' Her mither did sae ; and awa ' she gaed to the auld witch-wife . She bade her look out o ' her back door , and see what she could see . She did sae ; and when she came back said she saw nocht . The second day she did the same , and saw nocht . The third day she looked again , and on coming back said to the auld wife she saw nocht but a muckle Black Bull coming roaring alang the road . `` Aweel , '' quo ' the auld wife , `` yon 's for you . ''
On hearing this she was next to distracted wi ' grief and terror ; but she was lifted up and set on his back , and XXXXX ' they went .
