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.

She then threw them into the lake and got her real children back. Imposter Children - Source Story source
