A woman asks her lover, a sailor, how to poison her husband. He instructs her to climb a rocky mountain, find a snake's head, a grind it in a silver and gold mill. When her husband comes back from the fields, he is very thirsty and asks for water. She tells him he doesn't need water and pours him black wine instead. Their little baby who is lying in the cradle cries out and tells him the wine will kill him. Then the woman curses the day the sailor taught her how to kill her husband.
