Long ago, King Alfred of England was fighting a war against the Danes. His army gets broken up. He runs through the forest and finds a woodcutter’s hut. He goes into the hut and asks for some food. The woodcutter’s wife had red hair and blue eyes. She also wore glasses and was average height. She had a bag in her hand. All she had was pizza cooking on the hearth. She said that she would give him the pizza if he watched it while she was going outside.

King Alfred did not watch the pizza because he was thinking about the war. The wife came back and the pizza burned. She said, "you lazy fellow." She beat him with the bag. King Alfred did not mind the beating and got away. So, he got his army together and won the fight.
