So the King offer thousands of pounds to kill him to make the world in light again.
An' the King have t'ree daughter, an' he promise that, if anyone kill Man-crow, he will make them a very rich man an' give one of his daughter to marry.
So t'ousands of soldiers go in the wood to kill Man-crow. An' they found him on one of the tallest trees in the woods. An' no one could kill him, an' they come home back.
So there was a little yawzy fellah call Soliday.
An' he say to his grandmother:—"Gran'mother I am very poor. I am going in the wood to see if I can kill Man-crow."
An' the grandmother answer:—"Tche, boy, you better go sleep a fireside than you go to the wood fe go dead."
"Gran'mother, I goin' to town fe buy six bow an' arrow."
So he went to Kingston an' bought them.
An' when him return home he ask his grandmother to get six Johnny-cake roast, an' he put it in his namsack, an' he travel in the wood.
He s'arch until he find the spot a place where Man-crow is, an' he see Man-crow to the highest part of the tree.
