Hi,

Further down on that page Long adds, "Such complexity in narrative structure has been manifested in no other cante-fable in the "Gallows Tree" tradition except the one composed by Baring-Gould in support of his solar myth hypothesis."

Notice that Baring-Gould now has a gold ball -- representing the sun and silver ball -- representing the moon. In the cante-fable (see the third post in this thread) the balls are gold.
