“One night there was a man walking along the Rocksavage road...”
One night there was a man walking along the Rocksavage road. When he came to a certain place he saw a band of fairies in a field playing football. The man went out into the field to play with them. When he went for the ball one of the fairies ran after him and knocked him. Then the man told the fairy that he was the first ever knocked him for he was a strong man. Then the fairy give the man a gift and he told him that as long as he lived he would never be knocked again and the man was never knocked again.
