  1. Once upon a time there was a blacksmith. He was on his journey from the town and it was dark. He saw fairies playing near a stream. One of them was playing with his cap. He threw it into the stream. The blacksmith got it. After that if the smith had any work left undone till morning the fairy would come and do it. The smith wanted to reward the fairy for his work. He left a lovely cap, coat, and hat in the forge. When the fairy came he saw the clothes and put them on him. He said that he could not work with these beautiful clothes and never came again after that.
