    One night Christie Andrew was on the strand. He saw fairies trying to carry a corpse. The fairies shouted out "Who will carry the corpse" and one of the fairies shouted out "My brother will." The fairies asked who is it and one of the fairies said "It is Christie Andrew." The fairies made Christie Andrew carry the corpse. Christie Andrew was carrying the corpse all night. In a few years Christie Andrew died.
