  1. Once a man was coming home from the bog.
    When he was some distance from the bog he heard music and he turned around and he saw many little people in a field of wheat.
    They were all singing very loudly.
    The man did not know who they were and he called in to them.

    The man turned away and when he looked again there was no one in the field.
