When he was near the house he shouted : ` Hallo , old woman , come and meet me ! ' His wife only screamed out : ` You broomstick , come here ! Your back shall pay for this . ' The man went into the cottage , hung his sack on a nail , and said , as the crane had taught him : ` Two out of the sack .

The woman ate and drank , and praised her husband . ` Well , now , old man , I wo n't beat you any more , ' said she .
