    just gone twelve, they heard beautiful music. One little fellow dressed in red peeped in. One of the men said, "Come on in and do not be frightened". Then a crowd of them came in, and each one had a musical instrument, something like a saxaphone. They played beautiful music for them until break of day. Then they all left with greetings. These little men were supposed to be fairies.
