- (continued from previous page)the boys house he was sick. The boy's mother thought he was her own son and she put him to bed.
Next day he died. The day of the funeral the boy that was at the fairies stole away from the fort. When the people were coming home from the funeral they met the boy.
They thought it was up out of the grave he came and they ran as fast as they could across the fields.
When his mother saw him she fainted. When she recovered he told her his story and she repeated it to the neighbours.
