While mother was working in the fields, her young daughter, age 3, disappeared. When she found it, the girl had crossed a small dangerous wooden bridge - a feat quite impossible of such a young one.
She must have been taken away by a Tengu.

In another family, a baby would not stop crying, so the mother told him "I will give you away to the Tengu!" and held him outside the window.
There she heard a voice: "All right, let me have him!" and the baby was taken out of her arms and became invisible. It was never found.
