    cups of rich red wine. Peter was delighted to see it and he was just raising it to his lips when a small dark man came along and told him to drink none of the or he would never get home again. Peter laid down the cup and refused to drink. The fairies became very angry and said that he must drink the wine. At this moment the dark man came along and gave him a piece of ivy. When Peter received the ivy the fairies all vanished and Peter was left standing on the fort by himself Peter kept the ivy and the fairies never troubled him again.
