It is a ball of fire in fields and swamps.  It bounces along and rolls away.  It changes into a beast with fire in its mouth.  Travelers and fishermen follow it at night.  They walk and walk till they are tired out.  Then they cannot find their way home.  They walk into deep mud and thorny bushes.  They get dizzy and become insane.  They must reverse their clothes to send it away.  Then they can find their way home.
