A Fairy Story.
Many years ago,there lived a farmer in Cornagilta.His farm was a very prosperous one:he had great crops growing each year.On a certain day he was ploughing one of his fields,in which there was a lone bush growing.He thought the bush very much in his way as he could not plough around it.
As he did not believe in the supernatural,he decided to cut the lone bush.On the following day,the bush was growing in the same place again.
While working along with his horses that same day,one of the horses fell dead.All of a sudden a little fairy popped out and told him that that was what he got for cutting the lone bush,which belonged to them-the fairies.After this his farm became a place of desolation.
