    (continued from previous page)
    no body is supposed to cut a tree out of a fort.If you do any harm to them,something would happen to you. Once upon a time a man cut a tree out of one fort and the next morning there was no hair on his head.It was left in the bed. There are hills near some of them,and the fairies own them.It is said that there were fairies seen hurling on the hills.
