    Off to England
    Once upon a time there was a man who was very fond of rambling every night. So this night he was coming from his neighbour's house and as he was coming along the field he heard a terrible noise. It was the fairies and they had little bits of sticks in their hands. Then they ran the man and caught him and the words they said to him and they flogging him "Off to England".And they marched him off to a fort. They nearly killed him.
