“One evening a little girl was going home from school. ...”
One evening a little girl was going home from school. She had to pass by a wood. When she was in the wood this evening she found a big black rack. She took it home and gave it to her mother. Her mother put it on the table and when they went to bed that night a white woman came to the door and said three times "bring me back my rack".
The mother got the tongs and put it out under the door.
