  1. (continued from previous page)
    the boy said that if she asked him he'd mend it. At that moment the woman appeared again. She asked the boy to mend the loset and he did it. "Thanks" she said and she went off. The boy then went home.
    The woman appeared again in the field. The man was still ploughing.
    The woman seemed to have some big thing in her hand, and she went up to him. He looked around when he heard her coming but she was gone again. He thought he felt something on his back and right enough when he put up his hand to feel what it was, there were two humps in place of one.
