But as he was standing at the door he turned round and said, "As you are so kind and good, you may wish three things for yourselves and I will grant them." Then the man said, "What else should I wish for but eternal happiness, and that we two, as long as we live, may be healthy and have every day our daily bread; for the third wish, I do not know what to have." And the Lord said to him, "Will you wish for a new house instead of this old one?" - "Oh, yes," said the man; "if I can have that, too, I should like it very much." And the Lord fulfilled his wish, and changed their old house into a new one, again gave them his blessing, and went on.
- ¿No te gustaría tener una casa nueva, en lugar de esta vieja? - ¡Claro que sí! - contestó el hombre -. Si también esto fuese posible, de veras me gustaría. Nuestro Señor satisfizo aquellos deseos, transformó la vieja casa en una nueva y se marchó, después de darles su bendición.
