- One time there was a boy who used to rave and walk in his sleep.
One night he got up and he went out to the horse, to put the cart on him but he said it was too early.
At 12 o'clock every night he used to walk across a lake without sinking while he was asleep.
This night his father saw him but he did not mind him but kept on watching that night.
Another night his father caught him and he said "You will drowned and when he said it his son drowned that very minute.
When they were bringing him to his grave a voice was hard saying "I am pasing my house and I see it and I will see it again.
