STORY (THE HOBYAHS)

THE HOBYAHS

THE HOBYAHS

Once upon a time there were  a little old man and a little old woman.

 

They lived in house all made of hemp stalks.

 

They had a little black dog named Turpie. The little black dog always barked, when any one came near the house.

 

One night the little old man and the little old woman were fast asleep.

 

Out from the deep woods run, run, running came the Hobyahs. Through the long grass creep, creep, creeping came the Hobyahs. Skip, skip, skipping on the ends of their toes ran the Hobyahs.

And the Hobyahs cried, ‘Pull down the hemp stalks. Eat up the little old man. Carry off the little old woman.’

 

Then little dog Turpie ran out barking loudly.

The Hobyahs were afraid. They ran to the home again as fast as they could go. 

 

Then the little old man woke from his dreams and cried, ‘Little dog Turpie barks so loud that I cannot sleep. In the morning I will take off his tail.’ So the little old man took off little dog Turpie’s tail to stop him from barking.

The second night again came the Hobyahs. Out from the deep woods run, run, running came the Hobyahs. And the Hobyahs cried, 'Pull down the hemp stalks. Eat up the little old man. Carry off the little old woman.'

Then little dog Turpie ran out barking loudly.

 

The Hobyahs were afraid. They ran home again as fast as they could.

 

Then the little old man in his sleep cried an said, ‘Little dog Turpie barks so loud that I cannot sleep. In the morning I will take off his legs.’ So the little old man took off little dog Turpie’s legs to stop him from barking.

The third night along came the Hobyahs.

 

Out from the deep woods run, run, running came the Hobyahs. Skip, skip, skipping on the ends of their toes came the Hobyahs.

And the Hobyahs cried, 'Pull down the hemp stalks.' Eat up the little old man. Carry off the little old woman.’ 

 

Then little dog Turpie began to bark loudly.

 

The Hobyahs were afraid. They ran home again as fast as they could go.

 

But the little old man heard Turpie's voice.

 

He sat up in bed and cried, ‘Little dog Turpie barks so loud that I cannot sleep. In the morning I will take off his head.’ So the little old man took off Turpie’s head to stop him from barking.

 

Then next night little dog Turpie could not bark any more.

 

That night along came the Hobyahs. Out from the deep woods run, run, running came the Hobyah. Through the long grass creep, creep, creeping came the Hobyahs. Skip, skip, skipping on the ends of their toes came the Hobyahs.

And the Hobyahs cried, ‘Pull down the hemp stalks. Eat up the little old man. Carry off the little women.’

Now little dog Turpie could not bark any more. There was no one to frighten the Hobyahs away.

  

They took away the little old woman in their bag. But they could not get the little old man for he hid himself under the bed. Then the Hobyahs went home. They hung the bag upon a big hook. In it was the little old woman.

They poked the bag with their fingers and cried, ‘Look you, look you! But when the sun came up they went to sleep.

 

You know that Hobyahs, always sleep all day long.

 

When the little old man found that the little old woman was gone, he was very shocked and sorrow.

 

Now he knew and understood that what a good little dog Turpie had been.

 

So he took Turpie’s tail, legs and head and gave them back to him again.

 

Then Turpie went sniffing and sniffing along to find the little old woman. Soon he came to the Hobyahs house. He heard the little old woman crying in the bag.

 

Turpie saw that the Hobyahs were all fast asleep. Then he cut and open the bag with his sharp teeth.

Then the little old woman jumped out  and ran home again as fast as she could go.

 

Turpie did not run away but he was  inside the bag to hide.

 

When the night came the Hobyahs woke up. They went to the bag and they poked it with their long fingers. They cried, ‘Look you, look you!’ 

Then little dog Turpie, jumped out of the bag. He ate up every one of the Hobyahs.

And that is why there are not any Hobyahs now.
