  1. Fairy Forts

    Share Share Post
    In this district the fairy forts are very scared but there is one fort called "Blast Hill" forth and at twelve o'clock every night this fort is lit up with lights and some people can see the fairies dancing and singing in it.
    Once upon a time there lived a lonely man near this fort and his name was Tady.
    He decided to get married and his wife's name was Nancy.
    After a few years both of them could not know how he would get rid of his wife Nancy.
    So one day Tady decided to bring her to the fort
