    One night man was going up the big hill on the greenlands he saw a two shilling piece on the ground and picked it up. When he had gone a little further he looked behind him and saw a lot of little men dressed in red coming after him he started to shout for help but when the morning came he was seven miles away from home at a fairies fort.
