Summary
Two sisters are courted by the same man, but he really prefers the younger. The elder asks her sister to go for a walk then pushes her into the dam. The younger sister begs for help, promising that the elder will have the miller and his land, but her sister says it is because the younger was prettier that she pushed her in.
