    There was a man wan time and he went to buy a calf from another man. He laid his hand on the calf to examine it and the calf fell dead.
    It is said he overlooked her.
    He went to a stream and washed his eyes, and went back to the calf again, and touched her, and she jumped up.
    It is said that this man was a fairy.
