Last Fairy Tales. Édouard Laboulaye. Authorized translation by Mary L. Booth. New York: Harper & Brothers, 1885. First American edition.“Peter could not stay on the roof to watch the cow. He had to make soup and carry it to the reapers. But being a prudent man, and not wishing to expose his cow to the danger of breaking her bones, he tied a long rope around her neck, which he carefully lowered down the kitchen chimney; this done, he returned to the kitchen, and fastened the rope around his leg.” -- source link
