Tales of the supernatural are common in all parts of Britain. In particular, there was (and perhaps still is) a belief in fairies(仙女). Not all of these
41 are the friendly, people-loving characters that appear in Disney films, and in some folktales they are
42 and cause much human suffering. This is true in the tales about the Changeling. These tell the story of a mother whose baby grows
43 and pale and has changed so much that it is almost
44 to the parents. It was then
45 that the fairies had come and stolen the baby away and
46 the human baby with a fairy Changeling. There were many ways to prevent this from happening: hanging a knife over the baby’s head while he slept or covering him with some of his father’s clothes were just two of the recommended
47. However, hope was not lost even if the baby had been
48 . In those cases there was often a way to get the
49 baby back. You could
50 the Changeling on the fire--then it would rise up the chimney, and you would hear the sound of fairies’ laughter and soon after you would find your own child safe and sound nearby.
