When she realizes that he has somehow caused her face to age rapidly she attempts to redeem the pawn ticket, but since he knows that she is now married to a wealthy man he demands 100000.00 for it. She knows she can't ask her husband for that much money out of the blue so she resolves to take her belongings and sell them and tell her husband they were stolen. He comes home early and assumes the old crone packing the furs is a thief so she kills him figuring there's plenty of other men to victimize.

- In this grim fairy tale a remorseful king demands silence after his boisterous merry-making prevents him from hearing his daughter's shouts for help leading to her death. Eventually his demands on the peasants get so absurd he orders them to stop breathing because of the racket he claims to hear they make. They revolt, and one of them sews a sensitive metronome into the king's body that goes off with the slightest disturbance, and when the still-lying king brushes away an insect, the sound so bothers him he throws himself off a cliff.
