The left the house the were rambling and went away stealing cabbage. They waited till the people of the house went to bed and that was about half-past nine.
As they were approaching the garden one of them saw a round lump rolling before him. The them thought it was some one trying to frighten to them. They went a far as band and turned back again. They went home and did not go near the garden.
