In the morning when Per woke up he grabbed the cloth and ran home. "Mom, Mom, look what the North Wind gave me," he shouted excitedly. Quickly he said the magic words and shook out the cloth. Nothing happened! Again and again he tried, holding the cloth upside down or in different ways, but nothing worked.

"The North Wind has tricked me," Per muttered angrily and stomped off to the North Wind's house before his mom could stop him.

"North Wind! You'd better come out here. I've got to talk to you," Per hollered at the door. After a bit the North Wind came out, rubbing his eyes sleepily.

"You again?" he yawned. "Why are you back so soon?"

"You know why I'm back," Per shouted, almost in tears. "That cloth you gave me, it's no good. It only worked once, and what use is that?"

"Only once? Something is wrong," said the North Wind. "But let's not argue. I'll give you something else." Soon he returned with a ram.

"This is a magic ram. All you have to do is say, 'Ram, ram make money,' and it will make all the money you need."

"Will it work more than once?" Per asked suspiciously.

"Forever," promised the North Wind.

Per took the goat and set off. But it was getting late so he decided to go back to the inn. As soon as he knocked, the troll hag flung open the door. This time soup was dripping from her enormous nose for she'd been using it to stir her pot.

"Good evening. I was wondering if I could have a bed for the night," asked Per.

"How are you going to pay?" growled the hag.
