    done when all at once a big horse appeared with his mouth wide open. All "the boys" thought they were going to be swallowed up so they fled from the place as fast as they could.
    But one of the "boys" could see nothing. So he and the labouring man walked along the road the the found nothing unusual to see. They came across the rest of the boys and asked what happened to them. They said they thought they were going to be swallowed up by a big horse!
