The Three Wandering Merchants in the Bitter Weather

Milo, Matilda and Magnus are traveling merchants who need shelter from a storm. They knock on the door of an old woman's house to find her welcoming them in. She asks what they would pay for their time: one story or room and board. Milo says he'll tell it because he loves stories;Matilda agrees that she too will spin a tale. The three men then decide how much each should be paid per story.
