Summary

The house that disappeared with a ball of fire.

A boat was anchored in a bay. The crew used to see a ball of fire going round a house in the woods each night at twelve o' clock. It went away when the cock crew. They decided to buy the cock from the woman in the house. That night, the ball of fire came as usual. In the morning, there was not a trace left of house.
