Fairy Story 22-12-1938
One bright moonlight night a poor man was coming home from a dance that was in Malin Town, As he came to an old lane where the trees overshadowed it fear struck him. At that very moment he heard fairy music and a little fairy appeared and told him if he wouldn't tell it that his shoes would be full with money every morning. every morning his shoes was full of money till one day his wife was so anxious to find out that he had to tell her. He could get up morning after morning but there were nothing to be got so this left him as poor as ever.
