    One day a man went to herd cattle in a field. When he reached the field a crowd of fairies were hurling in the field. When they saw the man they immediately disappeared.
    Another day the same man was out for a walk, he was near a ditch and he spied a rabbit, he petted it. He then got out his walking stick but to his amazement neither the stick nor the rabbit was to be seen anywhere. He came to the conclusion that the fairies had taken it.
