But the hut was as dirty and black inside as a pigsty , so the Master-maid said that she would smarten it up a little , that it might look a little more like what other people 's houses looked inside . The old crone did not like this either . She scowled , and was very cross , but the Master-maid did not trouble herself about that . She took out her chest of gold , and flung a handful of it or so into the fire , and the gold boiled up and poured out over the whole of the hut , until every part of it both inside and out was gilded . But when the gold began to bubble up the old hag grew so terrified that she fled as if the Evil One himself were pursuing her , and she did not remember to stoop down as she went through the doorway , and so she split her head and died . Next morning the sheriff came traveling by there . He was greatly astonished when he saw the gold hut shining and glittering there in the copse , and he was still more astonished when he went in and caught sight of the beautiful young maiden who was sitting there ; he fell in love with her at once , and straightway on the spot he begged her , both prettily and kindly , to marry him . `` Well , but have you a great deal of money ? '' said the Master-maid . `` Oh ! yes ; so far as that is concerned , I am not ill off , '' said the sheriff . So now he had to go home to get the money , and in the evening he came back , bringing with him a bag with two bushels in it , which he set down on the bench . Well , as he had such a fine lot of money , the Master-maid said she would have him , so they sat down to talk . But scarcely had they sat down together before the Master-maid wanted to jump up again . `` I have forgotten to see to the fire , '' she said . `` Why should you jump up to do that ? '' said the sheriff ; `` I will do that ! '' So he jumped up , and went to the chimney in one bound . `` Just tell me when you have got hold of the shovel , '' said the Master-maid . `` Well , I have hold of it now , '' said the sheriff .
`` Then you may hold the shovel , and the shovel you , and pour red-hot coals XXXXX you , till day dawns , '' said the Master-maid .
