  1. There was a man walking on the road, about sixty years ago. He is a neighbout of ours. Many a time he tells us about one time he was walking on the road and he met a lot of fairies all walking in breadth of the road. They were very small and dressed in white. When they were going past him they all stepped to the side of the road one after another. They did not speak to him nor he to them. The man was a little bit frightened when he saw them coming.
