“There was once a man and he used go rambling to the neighbouring houses at night.”
There was once a man and he used to go rambling to the neighbouring houses at night. One night he had to cross a fort. There was a row of small trees growing around it. He pulled one and when he had it pulled he saw a woman and a large army of fairies. The woman said to him, "Leave that after you," but he did not. He ran as quickly as possible and when he was going in the door of his house he saw the woman and the fairies. She said to him to give her the tree, but he ran into his house and bolted the door very firmly.(continues on next page)
