  2. Child in the Fairies

    Share Share Post
    Once there was a child going away in the air. A shepherd was minding his flock and saw the child. He threw up this sheep hook in the air and the child fell down.
    There is supposed to be a Sheep Hook. charm in this hook. It is used by shepherds and farmers also for catching sheep. Something like a Bishop's crosier and six or seven feet long.
