  1. One night long ago a family was eating their supper,. Their father and mother were eating with them also, When the father had eaten he went out. He saw small white men running up the bog. There was a boy in the same village. The man saw the child with them. He went back and took the child from them and gave him to his parents. But when he went he went into the house he disappeared. Neither the man or the child never was seen again.
