  1. My grandmother told me some stories which she heard when she was young. This is one of the stories she told me. There was a woman who lived near a meadow. This woman used to put down her dinner early on a Sunday and go out in the meadow with the child.
    One day the woman went out in the meadow with the child. She left the child in the middle of the meadow near a cock of hay. The cock of hay was lifted and brought away by the Good People.
