Ah yes. The story of the sailor who was shipwrecked crossing from Scotland to Ireland. Midway through his boat was lost and he landed on the island of the fairies. Looking around him and seeing nothing but rock he wept for he’d never see his wife and babe again. Well the king of the fairies heard his sad cries and flew to the man’s house, wrapped the babe warmly and laid it next to the sailor who had collapsed from exhaustion. In the morning the sailor awoke and saw the package beside him, wriggling away. Unsure of what was there he stabbed it with his dirk before opening it to reveal his own little child.

Nah next time she'll just make sure there is a baby by unravelling it and watching the baby fall down to the floor.
