Another story, collected near Oldenburg; in the Duchy of Holstein, is about a lady who ate and drank merrily and she had everything as a heart could desire and wanted to live forever. In the first hundred years everything was fine, but then she began to shrink and shrivel until she could not walk or stand, or eat or drink, but she could not die either. At first, she was fed like a little girl, but she was so tiny that she was put inside a glass bottle and hung in the church. She is still there, in the church of Santa María, Lübeck. She is the size of a rat, and once a year she moves.
