    “I know a fort and it is...”

    Share Share Post
    I know a fort and it is situated in Maher's field. The fort is round. I know a girl who went there and the fairies dragged her into it and her father went out looking for her and did not find her. Her father began to get afraid. That night he heard someone talking and it was a fairy. He went on another step and the fairies dragged her him in too. The girl and the father came back and they never went to a fort again.
