One night my grandfather was coming home from a neighbour's house he crossed the fields home for a short cut. As he was crossing the fields he heard great cheers and shouts. He looked around and saw a great fire and thousands of fairies dancing around it. He went out to them and all of a sudden the fire and the fairies disappeared. As he turned to go home again he saw the fire and the fairies in the field he was after leaving, so he went back to the field where the fire was and after all he had to turn his coat inside out before he got away from the fairies.
