    (continued from previous page)
    That night when they went to bed they heard the tongs fixing the fire, the cups and saucers been put on the table.
    The next morning they got up again expecting to find upset but all was the same as ever.
    The next night there were people at the house and all the plates were put dancing around the house.
    The next night they all got a great fright and then the man knocked the house and built it further away.
