    some lovely music being played around the car. The music was so enchanting that it was not long until the old woman closed her eyes and fell into a sound slumber. The ass however went on until he reached home then the old woman awoke but when she looked for the stick that she broke off the bush she could not find it. The fairies are supposed to have stolen the stick after they put the woman to sleep with the music they played.
