    When there is a wedding in a house it is said that the fairies are in the house all night.
    If the bride sneezes and nobody says "God bless us" the fairies will bring her.
    There was a wedding once and the fairies came to the house. They had a tailor with them who heard them say the bride would sneeze and if nobody said "God bless us" they could take her.
    The bride sneezed, and the tailor, who was fastened to the roof, said "god bless us" The fairies, in anger threw him down, in the middle of the table where the people were drinking.
