The words were hardly out of his mouth , when the two crept back into the sack . Then the man shouldered the sack , and went off straight to his cousin 's house . He hung the sack up on a nail , and said : ` Please have the bathroom heated , cousin . ' The cousin heated the bathroom , and the man went into it , but he neither washed nor rubbed himself , he just sat there and waited . Meantime his cousin felt hungry , so she called her daughters , and all four sat down to table . Then the mother said : ` Two out of the sack . ' Instantly two rough men crept out of the sack , and began to beat the cousin as they cried : ` Greedy pack ! Thievish pack ! One -- two -- Give the peasant back his sack ! One -- two -- ' And they went on beating till the woman called to her eldest daughter : ` Go and fetch your cousin from the bathroom . Tell him these two ruffians are beating me black and blue . ' ` I 've not finished rubbing myself yet , ' said the peasant . And the two ruffians kept on beating as they sang : ` Greedy pack ! Thievish pack ! One -- two -- Give the peasant back his sack ! One -- two -- ' Then the woman sent her second daughter and said : ` Quick , quick , get him to come to me . ' ` I 'm just washing my head , ' said the man . Then she sent the youngest girl , and he said : ` I 've not done drying myself . ' At last the woman could hold out no longer , and sent him the sack she had stolen . NOW he had quite finished his bath , and as he left the bathroom he cried : ` Two into the sack . '
