Leave an unbaptised child alone in the cottage - and something comes to take it.
On Korpo people warned against leaving an unbaptised child alone in the cottage, for then the troll might come and take it. An eighty-year-old woman told how she had seen with her own eyes a merry little old man lift a child from the cradle. In its place he laid a log of wood.
