    Once upon a time there lived two boys and an old woman in a house.

    Once upon a time there lived two boys and an old woman in a house Whenever the old woman would be going anywhere the boys would follow her and hide inside a ditch and start cladding her. The old woman was so persecuted by them that after a while she died. When the old woman died one night the boys were sitting near the fire and all in a sudden clads and everything started pegging at them. And whenever any person would be with them the clads would stop. I heard this story from my father.
