   One time there lived a little woman and she had one little boy. She was asked to tie oats one day. The field the oats was in was called the fort-field because there was a fort in it. She left the child at the bottom of a stook. When she was going home in the evening she went to lift the child but he wasn't there. They all went to help her look for him but they couldn't get him. When she was going by the fort a child laughed out at her. She lifted it and brought it home. From that day the child never stopped crying till it died.
