Once, there lived a milkmaid named Susie. She milked the cows on her farm every morning.One morning, after milking the cows, she put the milk pails on a wooden table. Then, she went to the market. When she came home, she was shocked to find a milk pail missing. She found some little footprints near the fence. Susie decided to find out who it was.The next morning, she put the milk pails on the table and hid in the bushes near the fence. Soon, she saw three figures climbing over the fence and into her farm. They slowly walked to the table and took the milk pail.Susie quickly rushed out from the bushes and caught one of them, to her surprise, it was a gnome. The other two gnomes pleaded with Susie and promised not to steal again. Susie did not scold gnomes. The gnomes were happy and they volunteered to work for her.
