  1. One day a man went for a walk to the Silver Strand. He went into a field and sitting down he fell asleep. It was evening when he awoke. He found he was unable to move from the spot where he was sitting. He became very much afraid of the Fairies as night drew near. Morning came and he still found himself unable to move. Towards evening some of his friends found him there. On hearing his story they firmly believed that it was the fairies who kept him there.
