However , after a night 's rest he was in a better temper , and thought that he might be more lucky the third time , so back he went to the old place . ` Wilt thou wed me , farmer 's daughter ? ' he said to the youngest . ` Indeed I will wed thee ; a pretty creature is the hoodie , ' answered she , and on the morrow they were married . ' I have something to ask thee , ' said the hoodie when they were far away in his own house . ` Wouldst thou rather I should be a hoodie by day and a man by night , or a man by day and a hoodie by night ? ' The girl was surprised at his words , for she did not know that he could be anything but a hoodie at all times . Still she said nothing of this , and only replied , ' I would rather thou wert a man by day and a hoodie by night , ' And so he was ; and a handsomer man or a more beautiful hoodie never was seen . The girl loved them both , and never wished for things to be different . By and bye they had a son , and very pleased they both were . But in the night soft music was heard stealing close towards the house , and every man slept , and the mother slept also . When they woke again it was morning , and the baby was gone . High and low they looked for it , but nowhere could they find it , and the farmer , who had come to see his daughter , was greatly grieved , as he feared it might be thought that he had stolen it , because he did not want the hoodie for a son-in-law . The next year the hoodie 's wife had another son , and this time a watch was set at every door . But it was no use . In vain they determined that , come what might , they would not close their eyes ; at the first note of music they all fell asleep , and when the farmer arrived in the morning to see his grandson , he found them all weeping , for while they had slept the baby had vanished . Well , the next year it all happened again , and the hoodie 's wife was so unhappy that her husband resolved to take her away to another house he had , and her sisters with her for company . So they set out in a coach which was big enough to hold them , and had not gone very far when the hoodie suddenly said : ` You are sure you have not forgotten anything ? ' ' I have forgotten my coarse comb , ' answered the wife , feeling in her pocket , and as she spoke the coach changed into a withered faggot , and the man became a hoodie again , and flew away . The two sisters returned home , but the wife followed the hoodie .
Sometimes she would see him on a hill-top , and then would hasten XXXXX him , hoping to catch him .
