Text Appearing Before Image: ll, the Beggar had to do it himself. When they had finished their humble fare, they went tobed. But in the morning the Man made her get up very earlyto do the housework. They lived like this for a few days, till they had eaten upall their store of food. Then the Man said : Wife, this wont do any longer; wecant live here without working. You shall make baskets.
