- There was once a man living in barn in a little with his wife. One night himself and his wife were sitting beside the fire. The old man was looking into the fire and suddenly he looked down the floor and he saw a man sitting on a chair near him. He said good night to him and the man answered but he could not know what he was saying. He asked him where he came from, the man answered but he could not be understood by the old man or woman. The strange man took a paper out of his pocket and rolled it and made some fags and smoked them. The old man went to fix the fire and when he looked round again the man was gone. The old man went back and the door was locked so he did not know how the man could have got in or out.
