  1. A man was coming from a visit one night and he went astray until he came to a big house in the middle of a field. He went in and there was a big crowd with in and they were all feasting and dancing. They told him to sit down and he did; and they gave him a big supper of all kinds of food. When he had the supper eaten he started dancing and kept dancing all the night. He fell asleep and when he awoke he found he was lying in a big heap of nettles and bushes and he could not see any house or anything.
