- There was a man and he had one fine daughter. One evening she went to the spring and there was no sign of her coming home, so the old man went down to meet her, but he met no one on the road.So he went to the spring and then he thought she went to someone's house. So he turned back home and when he went into the house he saw his daughter working hard. At first he thought it was her ghost. And then he began to tell her the story. She said '' I met you on the road.'' She began to laugh at him and said he was silly.
