The villagers of Blednock, stared in shock as the Brownie came to town. But Granny Duncan comes up with a test to discern the creature’s intent.

Granny Duncan was the oldest and kindest woman in the village. Oh, she was very old! She knew all the tales of the olden time.

“I think this is just a harmless brownie,” she said. “Long ago I heard of brownies from my father’s father. We will take Baby Meg to see him. If she smiles upon him, he is just a brownie. For babies always love brownies and know them when they see them.”

So baby Meg was brought, and she laughed and crowed and put out her tiny hands to the strange little man.

“He is just a good, kind brownie!” cried Granny Duncan. Many a long day’s work will he do for the people who treat him well.”
