  1. Fairy Stories - Troubled with the Good People

    Share Share Post
    One time there was a family living in a neighbouring village and they were tormented by the "Good People". They used to tumble the chairs and break the delph during the night. Even when the people were harnessing the horses the o"Good People" undid it again.
    This was going on for a long time until at last the people got tired of it and began to complain, but the little people carried on just the same, The people saw that complaining did no good so they did not complain any longer. Very soon the fairies disappeared and the people enjoyed perfect quietness.
