Chapter Two
 

1. And, lo, she came unto a clearing in the midst of the forest.

2. And in the midst of the clearing, stood a house, and it was lit.

3. And she did enter in, for the door was not locked. And she percieved that it was very messy. And, lo, she did clean it up. Yea, even unto perfection.

4. And she saw seven little chairs and seven empty bowls. And she went up stairs, and cleaned that, also.

5. And there were seven little beds in the room, and seven desks, and she did percieve all that she did see.

6. And when she was come unto one of the beds, she did fall upon it with weariness, and did sleep.

7. And she woke up unto the sound of light footsteps. And the door opened, and she was astonished.

8. For, lo, in came seven little men with broad shoulders and pick-axes.

9. And she was sore afraid, for, did she not enter into an house not her own?

10. And one of them came unto her, and said, Why sleepest thou in our bed? And why cleanest thou our house?

11. And she looked up, and answered, I sleep in thine bed because I have no bed to sleep in, and I didst clean thine house for the mess it wast in.

12. And they talked the thing over, and bid her stay the night.
