By this time, the man was so vexed that he lost his temper; and he who does that, usually loses the game, while he who controls the wrath within, wins. Mad as a flaming fire, he lost his brains also and threw bit and bridle and the whole harness after the fleet animal. Alas! alas! the wife had started to run after the filly and the iron bit struck her on the cheek. It did not hurt, but he had broken his vow. BY THIS TIME THE MAN WAS SO VEXED THAT HE LOST HIS TEMPER AND HE WHO DOES THAT USUALLY LOSES THE GAME WHILE HE WHO CONTROLS THE WRATH WITHIN WINS MAD AS A FLAMING FIRE HE LOST HIS BRAINS ALSO AND THREW THE BIT AND BRIDLE AND THE WHOLE HARNESS AFTER THE FLEET ANIMAL ALAS ALAS THE WIFE HAD STARTED TO RUN AFTER THE FILLY AND THE IRON BIT STRUCK HER ON THE CHEEK IT DID NOT HURT THAT HE HAD BROKEN HIS VOW
igilant; yes, even less careful concerning the promise he had once given to his fairy wife, who still held to the ancient ideas of the Fairy Family in regard to iron. One of his finest mares had given birth to a filly, which, when the day of the great fair came, he determined to sell at a high price. So with a halter on his arm, he went out to catch her. But she was a lively creature, so frisky that it was much like his first attempt to win his fairy bride. It almost looked as if she were a cave girl running away from a lover, who had a lasso in his hand. The lively and frolicsome beast scampered here and there, grazing as she stopped, as if she were determined to put off her capture as long as possible. So, calling to his wife, the two of them together, tried their skill to catch the filly. This time, leaving the halter in the house, the man took bit and bridle, and the two managed to get the pretty creature into a corner; but, when they had almost captured her, away she dashed again. T AND AFFECTION MADE HIM LESS VIGILANT YES EVEN LESS CAREFUL CONCERNING THE PROMISE HE HAD ONCE GIVEN TO HIS FAIRY WIFE WHO STILL HELD THE ANCIENT IDEAS OF THE FAIRY FAMILY IN REGARD TO IRON ONE OF HIS FINEST MARES HAD GIVEN BIRTH TO A FILLY WHICH WHEN THE DAY OF THE GREAT FAIR CAME HE DETERMINED TO SELL AT A HIGH PRICE SO WITH A HALTER ON HIS ARM HE WENT OUT TO CATCH HER BUT SHE WAS A LIVELY CREATURE SO FRISKY THAT IT WAS MUCH LIKE HIS FIRST ATTEMPT TO WIN HIS FAIRY BRIDE IT ALMOST LOOKED AS IF SHE WERE A CAVE GIRL RUNNING AWAY FROM A LOVER WHO HAD A LASSO IN HIS HAND THE LIVELY AND FROLICSOME BEAST SCAMPERED HERE AND THERE GRAZING AS SHE STOPPED AS IF SHE WERE DETERMINED TO PUT OFF HER CAPTURE AS LONG AS POSSIBLE SO CALLING TO HIS WIFE THE TWO OF THEM TOGETHER TRIED THEIR SKILL TO CATCH THE FILLY THIS TIME LEAVING THE HALTER IN THE HOUSE THE MAN TOOK BIT AND BRIDLE AND THE TWO MANAGED TO GET THE PRETTY CREATURE INTO A CORNER BUT WHEN THEY HAD ALMOST CAPTURED HER AWAY SHE DASHED AGAIN
