  1. There was a man coming home from cardplaying late at night. He had to pass a lonely place When he was passing the place he saw a fire burning and fairies dancing and singing around the fire. He was afraid to go pass them. But at last he passed them He came back the next night but he never saw them again. He never played cards again
