Once when the mother fortune went around the world, one winter night she knocked at the door of a lonely house so that she can save herself from cold. When she started to go away she called the woman of the house and said to her: “Since you allowed me to come in , I will fulfill your three wishes.”
“May the sausage roast in the fireplace” said the woman immediately. And at that very moment the sausage roasted.
Her husband however shouted: “Oh you good for nothing! May sausages grow from your nose. Why did you not ask for money and riches?”
At that very moment when the man said these words, sausages started to grow from the nose of the woman and she could not take them out. So the man got frightened and asked the mother fortune to take away the sausages from his wife’s nose.
Mother fortune did that and said: “ In foolishness, you people are not the first rankers, who were not able to take advantage of my gifts. I fulfill three wishes but you people have wasted all three of them. May God be with you”
