The Old Beggar-Woman
There
was once an old woman, but you have surely seen an old woman go
a-begging before now. This woman begged likewise, and when she got
anything she said, may God reward you. The beggar-woman came to a
door, and there by the fire a friendly rogue of a boy was standing
warming himself. The boy said kindly to the poor old woman as she
was standing shivering thus by the door, come, old mother, and warm
yourself. She came in, but stood too near the fire, so that her old
rags began to burn, and she was not aware of it.
