- Once upon a time there was a man going to a neighbour's house on a visit and he had to pass by a fort. When he was passing by the fort he saw a light and heard music. He went in to see what was playing the music. When he went in he saw a crowd of tiny men playing music and dancing. He stayed there watching the fairies for a couple of hours as he thought. But when he came out he was an old man after spending twenty years in the fort.
