    (continued from previous page)
    There was a girl one time and she got sick and she was swept aways by the fairies. A fairy was put in the bed instead of her. A man was passing by a fort one day and he saw the girl in the fort. The girl told him to try and release her. She told him to say her name three times outside the window where the fairy was. He did that and the fairy disappeared and the girl came back and she was as well as ever after
