  1. Once upon a time there was a man who was very fond of a tree which was the back of his house. It was very old, and he did not like it to die.
    One night there was a storm and it knocked the tree. The man looked out the next morning and saw that the tree was knocked. He was very sad. He gathered all his neighbours, and they put up the tree again. The next day he went to the next paris hand told the people that the Fairies had put it up.
