- There was a man one time, and he went out on Sunday and stole a skock out of another mans gap and brought it home for firewood. He was going out late that night + it was about twelve o clock in the night and he saw a great cloud of dust, and out of it came a lot of little men and they thought to bring him away.
Then they gave him a pair of shoes with pointed toes. They also gave him a courdoroy breeches and a pair of clips to fasten the legs.
The brought him up into a little room as he thought and what was it only the and from that day to this his face can still be seen in the moon.
