FARMER WEATHERBEARD |

I can't get it off. If you want the ring you will have to take the finger too! '
' I will try, and then the ring will very soon come off,' said Farmer Weatherbeard.
' No, thank you, I will try myself,' said the Princess, and she went away to the fireplace and put some ashes on the ring. |

So the ring came off and was lost among the ashes.
Farmer Weatherbeard changed himself into a hare, which scratched and scraped about in the fireplace after the ring until the ashes were up to its ears. But Jack changed himself into a fox, and bit the hare's head off, and if Farmer Weatherbeard was possessed by the evil one all was now over with him.1 |
