*A. Man sees lazy girl weeping. Landlady tells him it is because her mother beats her for working so hard. He marries the girl ... He goes on a trip and leaves her flax to spin. But she does not know how to spin and sits all day and eats nuts, putting hulls in bag. Three fairies come and spin flax for her. When husband returns she says that even her bones are creaking but produces this noise by nutshells in bag under mattress. He insists that she never spin again.
