“Long ago there was a man digging a graveyard.”
Long ago there was a man digging a graveyard. As he was digging a big tall fairy woman appeared to him. She hit him with her fist and knocked him and she dappeared. He got up and he went digging again after a while an other woman appeared to him. She hit him in the jaw and turned his jaw back under his ear.He was frightened and he did not know where he was. After a while he recovered and he went home. When his people at home saw him they were all frightened and they asked him what happened him. He told them all that happened and they went to the graveyard and they could not see anything and they could not find any of his implements. The man died after a couple of days.John Doovan Rusheenmore Age 60 years
