    was humming to himself the reel they were playing and the fairies came and warned him that if he would play the reel again he would be sorry. He never played it for two years. So his cousin was getting married and he was asked to the wedding. He started off playing and the fairies came down the chimney and carried him away by the legs. They took him to their fort and kept him there for three years and after that he never played a tune.
