“Years ago in a very lonely part of the country a cross old man lived alone in an old thatched cabin.”
(continued from previous page)the old people say that it was the Good "People" that took him.Meanwhile the boys of the place knew that the old man was gone so they played a trick on him. They went to the donkeys house and brought him to the place where the "Good People" were supposed to be. They put boots and a hat on the donkey and left him there.The donkey, hearing his master's footsteps, went to meet him. The man got frightened and said "good night" but got no answer. In terror the man ran away with the "something" after him. When he reached his house he ran in and the ghost still after him. When he went in he saw that it was "Old Neddie" dressed up.
