    (continued from previous page)
    There was once a man who lifted a stone out of a gullet and that night the fairies brought him away and told him to put it into the gullet again. He asked them to let him go and that he would put it back in the morning again. They let him go and in the morning he put back the stone. The stone seemed very much lighter than when he took it. He never touched the stone after that.
