An old Story
About seventy years ago a man was in the habit of rising very early on a Summer's morning to look at some cattle that were grazing near some rocks . One morning he was taken away by the fairies to a lovely palace, and they put him sitting on a low seat and began to make fun of him. Then a very old woman stood up and got angry and told them to take the man back to where they found him, they did as they were told, so the man got safely home.
