On a time there lived a girl and whose names were John and Kathleen. They had a stepmother and a father. One night the parents were speaking that they were going to get rid of their children. The mother said: When we go hunting, they can go with us in the meantime John was listening what his parents were saying. He did not say anything to Kathleen, but he was going to get some burnt ashes so they could find the way back. The next morning they were ready to go with their parents. When they were going along the way John was strewn the ashes along the road. When night came the father told them to stay there until he went to get some wood to make a fire. Instead of going to get the wood, the parents went home and left the poor little children there to get lost. Kathleen asked John where was their mother and father, so John said, they have left us here to get lost. He told her what he heard the night before. After then they followed the burned ashes and reached home at last. The father and mother had gone, but they lived there by themselves very happy ever afterwards. Composed by Dick Dawson's Game.
