    in the morning, and nobody knew what killed him, but the people said it was the fairies that took him. Then the old man walked quicker. Then somebody around the place that knew he was gone to the other village said they would play a trick on him. They went to where the donkey was and they dressed him up and took him to the place where the man was found dead. After some time te man came up and he walked by them the donkey ran out and followed him the man did not know what it was and when he came to his own house he found it was his own donkey the old man was very vexed then.
