    Old Story 21:12:1938
    Once upon a time a woman went out for water and when she came in her child was crying and she went up to it and she thought it was not like her own child but it kept always frying, she went up to the priest and the priest held it over the fire and it went away like smoke so she went back to the cradle and her own child was there. It was the faries took her own child.
