- (continued from previous page)3 hundred year afterwards some men dug them up and they were as perfect and clean as the day they were put in the ground.
- There lived a woman and she had a child. One night the child was taken away from her and a bigger child was put in the bed. The mother called her next door neighbour to see the child. The neighbour told her to put the shells of eggs in a pot and boil them. The mother did so. If the child asks you "what are you doing that for?" it is not your own child. The house shook and when the woman looked around her own child was in the cradle asleep.
