“A long time ago a man had a field of potatoes and he had them pitted.”
A long time ago a man had a field of potatoes and he had them pitted. When the time came for him to take them into a house. He took a horse and cart to the field for them. When the man opened the pits the potatoes were all gone and the little fairies had a house made out of it. He was that angry he tossed it on the little fairies. In the morning when he got up his cows and horses were all dead.- Collector
