  1. Fairy Story

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time there was a man living in Hamlinstown. He was a very old man and he came every night to bring home his ass from the field. One night he was going for the ass. He saw him at the field. And he ran up and when he was at the top he saw the ass at the bottom of the field and when he sat down to rest himself he heard the fairies laughing.
