How Wry-Face played a Trick on One-Eye the Potato-Wife The Overturned Cart One day, as Oh-I-Am the Wizard went over Three-Tree Common, his shoe became unstringed, and he bent down to refasten it. Then he saw Wry-Face, the gnome, hiding among the bracken and looking as mischievous as anything. In one hand he held a white fluff-feather.
But the potato was as cool as cool. "I belong," it said, "to One-Eye, the potato-wife; and let me tell you, my little gnome, unless you take me to her immediately, I shall climb into your mattress again; and there I shall remain!" "Alas," cried Wry-Face, "I have tossed about for hours and hours, and am too tired to do anything.
He put into it a potato, and a grain of earth, and a down from a pillow, and a pearl, and an apple-pip from a pie. And when the spell was ready, he lay down, and fell asleep. Wry-Face had gone round to all the neighbours to tell them the grand joke about One-Eye, the potato-wife. Sometimes he told it through the window, and sometimes he stood at the door.
But Wry-Face said to himself as, weeping, he carried the potatoes to the potato-wife: "I will never play a trick on anyone again, not as long as I live!"

They were an old grandmother; her grandchild, Rhoda; and a boy named Christopher.
