A Story (continued)
“Once upon a time there lived a woman named Mrs Doherty who was very poor.”
(continued from previous page)After a month or so when her husband saw how rich she was getting he asked her where she was getting all the food and money from. She told him but next morning when she arose she found no money nor no corn. I often hear the old people say, if you ever happen to get anything from a fairy you should not tell it to any person no matter who he is. For if you do you will never get anything else.
