- Fairies do help people in many ways. If you are up late at Night and if you are churning and if it is after twelve o clock they are sure to come in and help you. They will wait there and the people of the house will have to go to bed. They will take out the butter and bring it with them. The people of the house would be at the loss of the butter. That is why people do not be churning late at Night.
