that ,and they said they would try and frighten him ,the way he would stop at home .So one night they said they would go and frighten him .So this night they went and brought chains with them and when they went into the "fort" they saw a lot of fairies and they rattling chains as hard as they could ,and they ran home and said that they would never frighten anyone again,and the boy heard of it,and he never went out again until he was a big man.
