    There were once a showmaker and his wife. They went to bed one night.

    There were once a shoemaker and his wife. they went to bed one night. When he got up in the morning there were two pair of shoes on the table he wondered where did they come from. The woman said that the good fairies brought them.
    They said that they would watch them the next night but noon came. They went up to the room and they dancing in the beds. They went down and slept in the kitchen so that was the end of the fairies.
