- Once upon a time there was a little girl who was going to school, and her teacher loved her very much, because she was a good scholar. One day she went to her aunt's house, and her aunt told her to go for a walk. She went through the fields until she came to a stream, and she heard beautiful music in the corner of a field, she said that she would go and see who was playing the music.
When she went over she saw four small men dressed in red and she looked around her, and when she looked back again the little men were gone. She went back to her aunt's house again, and she told everyone what she had seen and heard, and her brothers and sisters said that they would go and see the little men.
