- There is a hill outside the town which is supposed to belong to the fairies. One day a man went to the hill to raise sand. In the evening when he did not return home his people set out to look for him. They found him lying near the hill unconscious. They took him home and when he recovered he told them that the fairies had beaten him. He said that a crowd of a small men attacked him, knocked him, and beat him. He died soon afterwards.
