- (continued from previous page)Then the fairy woman asked Julia how old was the youngest child at home, and if he was walking when she left her home. She asked her so many questions that Julia stopped crying. "Now" said the fairy woman "do not cry any more, but let you call your youngest baby, and he will answer it". So Julia cried out "Come my honey pot, come, oh ! come, my darling, I can't do without you". She fell into a deep sleep, and when she woke, she had her baby in her arms. The little one pulled at her hair, and crowed with delight. Then the good people sent the woman and her baby to live in a little cottage and she never went home to her husband.
