   There is also another story about a woman that had a son which was supposed to be a fairy changeling, but it isn’t known where she lived or who she was.
   The story goes that this woman’s son was only three months old when it had a mouthful of big teeth. It began to talk at four months old, and could walk well at six months old The poor mother began to have her own doubts about her child. When it was a year old it was suprising what it could say and do, it could talk as well as any learned man, and would always clap his hands with delight when an accident would happen. When it was fourteen months old it told it’s mother one day it would like a smoke.
