The cowhide was heavy and hot, Carrying that and his kettle— He wobbled in stride, Waved to the old lady and said bye. But Sue stopped him in his tracks, "Leaving without blueberries? I can't have that!” And dumped a handful in his kettle. The traveller thanked Sue and went along his way. He heard her soft words as he went away "By ember's glow and fire's breath, May you walk untouched by death. The winds will howl, the earth may quake, But none shall harm the path you take." With his kettle and hide to walk back, Took a right at the end of the blueberry patch, Walked two more miles, to be exact— Back to the trader who still had on his hat.
