Long ago there was a man who lived in Ireland who was very poor.He had no food ,no fire ,and no drink.
One day he went to the wood for timber to make a fire.On his way home he met a fairy and the man had a bag.he said he carried his dinner in it.She said,I know you are poor .Would you like if I filled that bag with gold.he said "yes".So he looked and saw the bag was filled with gold.
He thanked the fairy .So he went home and was rich ever afterwards.
