Summary

How the Little Green-jacketed Smith made a new wife.

The Little Green-jacketed Smith's wife was growing old and ugly. He tied her and her mother up and took them to the smithy to forge a new wife. The lovely smell of roasting attracted every dog around while he was working.

The contributor heard the story from his father, but it was much longer than this.
