 When I was very young, my mother abandoned me and my siblings. I'll never understand why she did that. I was the only one who managed to survive. It was a cold night and I could feel myself getting very weak and tired. Luckily, a human scooped me into its arms and took me to its den. Ever since, Master and I have been the best of friends. We would spend everyday together and it made me so happy. I could tell Master was happy too by the noises he would make when we played. Sometimes if I was lucky, I would be able to hunt with him! That was the most fun! Mostly we would hunt deer but sometimes we would come across a bear or even wolves! We were never in any trouble though, because we would always protect each other. Today is one of those days that we hunt together! Normally we would stay along the tree line, but today Master decided to go deep into the forest on an old path. I can't complain, there are so many new smells out here! I trot a few paces ahead of Master, smelling ou...

A man decided to go hunt in the wilderness. He brought his favorite dog along with him. On their hike, they stumbled upon a graveyard. A ghost was standing a ways in front of them, hovering a foot above the ground. Suddenly the ghost charges the man but is stopped after the dog bites its calf. The dog and ghost fight while the man runs away. Finally, the dog defeats the ghost and chases after his master. When they both arrive back to the village, the dog attacks the man.

 Long ago there was a man who worked as a blacksmith. He had a wife and two young boys. The man dreamed that he could one day give his smithing company to his boys and they would carry on his legacy. One of the boy's name was Smither. He was goal driven and loved to help his father in the shop. Smith was the other brother. Instead of helping his father, Smith liked to relax and do whatever he wanted. When the boys were older, about 18, their parents were killed by a thief on a road to the main city. The blacksmith company was given to the boys to continue their father's legacy. Smither vowed that he would be a great blacksmith just like his father. He took his job very seriously and quickly became very well-known throughout the kingdom. Smith did not care to work and continued to fool around, relying on his brother to provide for both of them. He would also ask Smither many dumb questions just to get on his nerves. One day Smither was working in the shop while Smith was sitting...

There was once a couple with twins that lived in a cot known as Twt y Cwmrws. One day the women was called to her neighbors and had to leave her twins behind which she was not happy about. Later, on her way home, she came across a few elves which scared her. When she returned her children were okay. Soon, they realized something was wrong with the twins when they never grew. One day the woman went to a wise man to see what could be done. He told her to meet reapers and give them egg shells with potage in them. If the children speak after this then they must be thrown into the lake. The children then said "Acorn before oak I knew, an egg before a hen, but I never heard of an eggshell brew a dinner for harvest men." She then threw them into the lake and got her real children back. Imposter Children - Source Story source
