On the third night one of the fairies left my aunt home that night when she was in bed she heard a noise in the middle of the night like cups and saucers rattling, and in a few minutes she heard the dresser falling, then my aunt got up to see what was the noise and she went into the kitchen and saw the (kitchen and (the) band of fairies in the kitchen and the dresser down on the ground and the cups and saucers on the floor and she left them their until the morning and when she got out of bed the next morning - when she looked at the dresser and the cups and saucers were all right.
