    A Story.
    A fort is built with stones and bushes.Fairies live in forts.The Danes used to fight battles on top of them long ago.it is very dangerous to touch a bush or anything growing in a fort as the fairies would beat you or they might kill the person .A right magic fort has seven small motes around it.Out of the top of the fort wall you can see five others.It is a very lonesome to pass near a fort at night.
