| Summary: | boo n A67.1. Bo: this was a man who lived underneath the house. Older brother and sister could talk to him and could attract his attention by tapping on the floor. He was used as a threat by the older children and to appease him the young child had to give something to the older brother or sister. The children had a treasure box and Bo could change things for them. Young children gave things to be exchanged to older children who in turn completed the transaction with Bo. Sometimes, if the young child was not behaving properly, Bo kept her gift but did not give anythign in return. The young child was very fearful of Bo.
