Here is actually a four-footed creature caught in the net . I do believe it 's a hare . ' ` Good heavens ! ' cried his wife . ` How did the hare get into your net ? It IS a hare , so you need n't say it is n't . After all , people must have said the truth -- ' But her husband only shook his head and shrugged his shoulders as if he could not believe his own eyes . ` Now what are you standing there for , stupid ? ' cried his wife . ` Take up the hare . A nice fat hare is a dinner for a feast day . ' The old man caught up the hare , and they drove on to the place where the treasure was buried . They swept the twigs away , dug up the earth , took out the pot , and drove home again with it . And now the old couple had plenty of money and were cheery and comfortable . But the wife was very foolish . Every day she asked a lot of people to dinner and feasted them , till her husband grew quite impatient . He tried to reason with her , but she would not listen . ` You 've got no right to lecture me ! ' said she . ` We found the treasure together , and together we will spend it . '
Her husband took patience , but at length he said XXXXX her : ` You may do as you please , but I sha 'n' t give you another penny . '
