The Three Wishes (3)

" Indeed, " replied his wife.
" I wish we had some sausages. It would be nice to enjoy them by the fire. "

Scarcely had the Woodcutter's wife finished speaking when she and her husband saw a link of sausages appear down the chimney.

The Woodcutter cried out in alarm, but the realized that this was the result of the foolish wish that his wife had made.

He began to scold her.

" You fool ! " he cried.
" To think you might have wished for a kingdom, with gold, pearls, rubies, diamonds, fine clothes, whatever you desire ! And all you wish for a sausages ! "

" Alas, " replied the Woodcutter's wife. I've made a very bad choice. I'll do better next time. "

" Yes, you will ! " exclaimed the Woodcutter.
" You couldn't have done any worse ! Only a fool would have wished for a sausages. A curse on all sausages ! I wish a sausage was hanging from your nose ! "

In a flash, the wish was answered and sausage fastened itself on the end of her nose.
