    Long long ago a man caught a fairy in it under a white thorn ditch and he asked the fairy where was the crock of gold. The fairy told him to look around and he (aske) did not look around. Then the fairy told him that it was under a palm tree. The man went home, got the spade, dug at the tree and found there a box with a hammer and a glass shoe in it.
    Once a man was in Cappy fort after dark and he could not get out of it.
