    big thick flag. When they lifted the flag, they saw a big sheet of yellow gold, but they could not dare to touch it as they saw hundreds of little fairies playing around the g gold, and taking good care of it.
    They tried to take the gold from the fairies but their efforts failed, and they had to go home without any gold.
    That field can be still seen and the gold is still there but nobody cannot get it with the fairies.
