    woman showed her the child saying "Is this your child". The mother cried aloud with joy and snatched the child.
    The mother asked what they would do with the dead baby. The woman answered. "Bring it to a bog and the first bog-hole you meet throw the infant in". They took the corpse thither as they were directed and when they were about to drown the dead child it had vanished from their arms.
