"All the same, she did not really believe he would, as she had not heard of Annungitee or any other kind of ghost being around for a long, long time. She only said what she did to frighten the bad boy into obedience. Indeed she had often said to him, when she was angry with him, 'I do hope a ghost will catch you. But the more she talked to him the worse he became.
But it was a long time before he had an opportunity to get his revenge on them for the death of his brother. How he did it I will tell you at some future time." The Legend of the Bad Boy How He was Carried Away by Annungitee, and How He was Rescued by His Mother. "Tell us, Mary, a story about the boys of the old times among the Indians," said Sagastao.

But when a boy became very bad he was then so black that he was easily seen, and Annungitee could espy him a long way off and was very likely to come after him. "Fortunately Annungitee always made a noise when he was passing along.

"Her husband was very angry when he heard this, and said: "'Yes, a ghost has taken our boy.
