    Once upon a time there were people who lived in the country. They had a little child who used to sleep in the cradle. One night when the mother was out the child was taken and no one had seen it been taken away. It was said that the faries had taken it away. It was left back in two weeks time in the cradle. When the mother seen the child she noticed that the child had a strange look of his face. The faries must have done something on the child.
