  1. (continued from previous page)
    At once the four men rushed out and caught her. One of them brought her home with him. The next morning he would offer her some food but she would neither eat nor drink. She would not speak a word either but kept sobbing and crying all the time.
    After two days he thought it would be unlucky to keep her as he knew she was one of the fairies. So that night he left her standing in the place in which the four of them caught her before, and she went off with the same humming.
