"I have been thanking your wife for my good entertainment," said the Ouphe, "and if there is anything in reason that I can give either of you " "Will, we do very well as we are," said his wife, going up to him and looking anxiously in his face.

As quickly as possible Kitty started up and dressed herself, and ran down the ladder, and then she saw her husband kneeling on the floor over the knapsack, which the Ouphe had left behind him. Kitty rushed to the spot, and saw the knapsack bursting open with gold coins, which were rolling out over the brick floor. Here was good fortune! She began to pick them up, and count them into her apron.
So nobody was punished at all. By Jean Ingelow "An Ouphe!" perhaps you exclaim, "and pray what might that be?"
"Bless us!" exclaimed the little wife; "is the Wood Ouphe in our cottage? How frightened I am! I wish I hadn't put the candle out." The husband laughed more and more. "Will," said his wife, in a solemn voice, "I wonder how you dare laugh, and that powerful creature under the very bed where you lie!"

"I don't deny," said the woodman, thoughtfully, "that there are one or two things I should like my wife to have, but somehow I've not been able to get them for her yet." "What are they?" asked the Ouphe. "One is a spinning-wheel," answered the woodman; "she used to spin a good deal when she was at home with her mother."
"What, mistress, and why not?" asked the Ouphe, smiling. "It is as full of gold pieces as it can hold, and I shall never miss them." "No, I entreat you, do not," said Kitty, "and do not offer it to my husband, for maybe he has not been warned as I have." Just then the woodman came in.

"Why, you soft little thing," answered the woodman, "didn't you see that bunch of green ash-keys in his cap; and don't you know that nobody would dare to wear them but the Ouphe of the Wood? I saw him cutting those very keys for himself as I passed to the sawmill this morning, and I knew him again directly, though he has disguised himself as an old man."
