the boy met a, girl and the mother didn't like
the girl and warned the boy away from. Her but
the girl used all her wiles on the, boy and
the boy turned against his, mother and the girl told
him that proof of his love for her would be
that he killed his, mother and proof of the killing
would be that he brought the girl his mother's. Heart
(19:49):
and so the poor boy killed his mother and took
her heart to bring it to the. Girl and on
the way he stumbled and. Fell the heart escaped his.
Hands before he could get to his feet again or
