“This is a true story which happened a woman and a young child.”
This is a true story which happened a woman and a young child. The child started to cry one night. The mother went out to the kitchen for a cup of milk for the child. There was someone in the kitchen. When she was rinsing the cup the house echoed with laugh but she saw no one there.
When she was going into the room someone hit her with a pebble on the shoulder. When she was going in she met a white woman she said to her you are hurt now.
The woman in white told her to rub a gizzard of a bird to it and it would cure her.
