"But how came you in the bag?" asked the old woman.

"Oh, our cousin was jesting with us. He coaxed us in the bag for
a joke. Please let us out."

achuck-a-chuck-achuck flew up, knocking over the old grandmother

old woman caught only one grouse as it flew up and held it,
grasping a leg with each hand.

"Grandson, come quick. They got out but I have caught two."

"Grandmother, you have but one grouse," he cried, and it is a very
skinny one at that."
