A video
Once a man who lived in the East side of the land
had a new born baby. One day he had to travel
and leave the baby alone with the village people.
He told them never to leave the baby alone but
one day they didn‘t listen and left the baby alone
for a while.
Elves return a baby
When he returned to the village the baby was
acting like a lunetic. He then examined the baby
and noticed that it wasn‘t his. He was furious and
went to an elf rock and cursed it and said he
would blow the rock up if they wouldn‘t return his
baby. He went home then and told every people
in the village to go for a while

was alright and had been returned and the other
elven baby taken
