  1. (no title) (continued)

    There were two boys there long ago and they lived in a house by themselves.

    (continued from previous page)
    used to come in from walking every night the bread used to be baked and they used always eat it in the room. This night after their making the bread one of the boys said "I don't know who will turn the bread tonight and they went away to some house where men used to be at night. When they came home one of the boys heard the walk alongside him. He went this path and the other boy went another path. This boy ran and the thing ran with him but he could not see it. When he came to his own house a big gang of dogs attacked them and had like to eat them. After a long time they got into the house and they were safe.
