- I live in Lisanahedherna and I am 10 years old.
There is a big fort there. One night a man was passing it and he saw the Fairy King and the Queen of the fairies.
They were singing and the man stopped to listen and they asked why he stayed there.
He said "I am listening to your lovely song'
They looked pleased and they gave him a purse full of gold. He put it in his pocket and ran home. He found in his pockets only a Coppoge leaf and bits of clay.
