"Well that would be all right," said the _ _ _ _ _ _ , "but I'd rather _ _ _ _ really hard and see if we can save the money for the land, and in that way we will still have our wish."
And that's what happened. They worked so hard that they were able to buy the land next door. " Let's wish for a horse and a cow,"said the wife.

Sure enough, they were soon able to buy a beautiful horse and cow.
