The Roak boys
Boy play by the river
Line pinecones in a row
A farm and he has seven different animals
Man walks into spring river water to his waist
Each hand hold a rock
It only takes a second and man gone
There is no sign now of man in the river
Only boy see man disappear
Nobody else around to see
The next day boy returns to river
He finds a shoe and fill shoe with stones
Each stone an animal but shoe tilts and animals drown
Days pass and boys mother finds shoe in boys closet
Esther Bell tells Mary Mary tells Fred Fred call the police
At noon police arrive ask boy about the shoe
The boy say shoe kept tilting
He takes officer down to the river
Searching for the place the boy had found the shoe
The police officer see something tangled in bush down the stream
Another shoe size 13 and a blue plaid shirt is found
Roak-boys still missing
