They then rowed home again , and had a good meal off the fish . The old man now got three sacks full of money , and set off home with them . When he was almost home the cow again came into his head , and he laid down the money . This time , however , he took his wooden shoes and laid them above the money , thinking that no one would take it after that . Then he ran home and asked his wife whether the cow had calved .

When they came to the spot they found only the wooden shoes , for a thief had come along in the meantime and taken all the money .

' With that he drove a spike into a beam , and ran his head against it , and in consequence had to lie in bed for a long time afterwards . After he had recovered from this his wife asked him one day to go and buy candles , as they had none . ` No , ' he said , ` there 's no need for that ; ' and he stuck his hand into the fire .
