Chapter XIII
On saying this the wise woman vanished. Little Two Eyes went home quickly, and said to her sister, "Dear sister, give me some part of my poor goat. I don't want anything valuable; only give me the heart." Her sister laughed, and said: "Of course you can have that if you don't want anything else." So little Two Eyes took the heart; and in the evening, when all was quiet, buried it in the ground outside the house-door, as the wise woman had told her to do.
