    when the fire was well kindled the corpse went out the window like a flash. All the people of the house were frightened and also troubled. That evening the boy which they thought was dead came back again and they lived happily after that. How that is understood is, “it was a fairy that was in the bed” and when the fire went down the fairy jumped out of the bed and out the window. That fairy was never seen since and never will I suppose.
