    There was a man one time and he cotch a fairy but it wasn't in your time nor in my time nor in anyone else's time but it was a time and a very good time it was.
    He held the fairy and said he'd kill him if he wouldn't tell him where the money was. The fairy said he'd give him three wishes that he could wish for what he liked.
