' ` Well , while the people were chopping up your mother she ran away , and I heard no more of her . ' ` Give me my mother 's liver and lungs , ' said the young man . And she gave them to him . Then he put them in his pocket , and went away , saying : ' I can stay no longer in this horrible town . I go to seek my sister .
