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.
