The next day, her husband took her into the room, and there was the flax and her food.

“This is the flax,” says he, “and if you don't spin in this night, you'll lose your head.” And then he went out and locked the door.

So the girl heard a knock near the window. She stood up and opened it, and there was the little old impet.

“Where's the flax?” says he.

“Here it is,” says she.

When the evening came, the knock came again to the window. The girl stood up and opened it, and there was the little old impet with five skeins of flax on his arm.

“Here it is,” says he, and he gave it to her.

«Ну, как меня зовут?» – спросил он.

«Билл?» – сказала она.

«Нет!» – сказал он и twirled his tail.

“Is that Ned?” says she.

“No, it isn't!” says he, and he twirled his tail.

“Well, is that Mark?” says she.

“No, it isn't!” says he, and he twirled his tail harder and flew away.

Когда вошёл её husband, то для него было ready пять мотков пряжи.

«Что ж, tonight я тебя не убью, моя дорогая, – сказал он.

Every day он приносил flax и еду, и каждый день по утрам и вечерам являлся маленький чёрный impet. И весь день девушка пыталась to guess его имя, in order to произнести его, когда чертёнок придёт ночью. Но она ни разу не назвала right имя. К концу месяца impet стал выглядеть очень сердитым и twirled своим хвостом всё быстрее и быстрее.
