Here was once a man who travelled the land all over [11] who travelled the land all over – который изъездил весь свет in search of a wife. He saw young and old, rich and poor, pretty and plain, and could not meet with one to his mind. [12] could not meet with one to his mind – не мог себе найти никого по душе At last he found a woman, young, fair, and rich, who possessed a right arm of solid gold. He married her at once, and thought no man so fortunate as he was. [13] no man so fortunate as he was – никто не был столь удачлив, как он They lived happily together, but, though he wished people to think otherwise, he was fonder of the golden arm [14] he was fonder of the golden arm – он больше любил золотую руку than of all his wife’s gifts besides.

At last she died. The husband put on black clothes, and pulled the longest face at the funeral. But in the middle of the night, he dug up the body, and cut off the golden arm. He hurried home to hide his treasure, and thought no one would know.

The following night he put the golden arm under his pillow, and was just falling asleep, when the ghost of his dead wife glided into the room. Stalking up to the bedside it drew the curtain, and looked at him reproachfully. Pretending not to be afraid, he spoke to the ghost, and said, "What have you done with your red cheeks?"
