    The boy went into the room and saw a beautiful girl with a knife in her side,
    He walked over and took out the knife. They tried to persuade him to eat and drink but he would not. When he came out the stranger was waiting and took him back to his father
    People thought that it was one of the ''good people'' who had saved him.
