They went again the next night but the light was there. Their father appeared also and fought with the holder of the light.

An Adventure in a Liss

Share Share Post

One night a man was coming home from a neighbours house. He went through a lios to make a shortcut but suddenly he saw a host of people dancing about the fort. He followed them around for about two hours but still he couldn't find a way out. At length he threw himself against the ditch from sheer exhaustion. Suddenly a girl in a blue dress stood beside him. She asked him if he would like to go home. He was so speechless with fright so he could only nod. She led him to a gap which he could not see before and he went safely home.
