To be safe, the mad built a chamber and kept his son in it. The man taught his son to read and write and when the son came of age he was to be wed. The man's brother had a daughter and they had chosen her for the son. The wedding celebration had lasted seven days and when it was over, the girl was taken to the chamber. She somehow turned to a wolf and tore the boy to pieces and changed back into a girl not knowing what happened. When a woman came the next morning, the girl explained that she didn't know what had happened. The boy's body was carried away to be buried. "Whatever is willed by fate, that verily comes to pass."
The Man Who Came To Wake His Luck: There were two brothers, one very rich and one poor. The poor brother went to his brother's herd and found a man herding the horses. It turned out to be his brother's luck. He told the brother that his luck was asleep and where to find it. On his way, he ran into a farmer, a King, and a wolf who also had no luck. When he found his luck, he passed along the messages from the people he met. When he returned to the King who was actually a woman, she asked him to marry her and to stay and have her riches. He refused. The farmer was to dig up a jar of coins for his field to yield fruit and he asked he brother to help him and share the coins but he refused. He went to the wolf and said that he was to eat the most foolish man. The wolf then asked the brother a silly question and fooled him. The wolf then ate him.
The Shepherd Who Found a Treasure: There were two shepherds who were watching a herd of sheep. One had fallen asleep and a green fly had flown out oh his nose and settled on the middle of three rocks. The first shepherd had known that the fly was actually other's soul and woken the other and said that he would give the wages of his sheep to him if he would tell him his dream. The other shepherd agreed and told him of a treasure hiding behind a rock but had no idea if he had gotten it or not because he was woken up. So the first shepherd went to town and got his wages and gave it to the other shepherd. The shepherd fell back asleep and the first shepherd looked under the rock and found jewels. He never worked as shepherd again.
