Summary
A woman driven out with a door on her back accidentally frightened away robbers and got their gold.
The wife of a poor man wasted the meal and the money he told her to put aside, so he drove her out with a door tied to her back. Later he followed her and asked her to come home. Some robbers came on the scene and the couple climbed into a tree with the door, and hid. The robbers were counting their gold underneath the tree when the woman urinated and defecated on them, and the door fell on them. They ran away leaving the gold, and the woman came down from the tree. One of the robbers returned and asked the woman for a kiss. She bit off his tongue, and he ran away. The man then came down from the tree and he and his wife took the gold home with them.
