    They asked him where was he going he told them he was going for nuts for the children. "Now my good man you cannot come here without a pass, as this place belongs to the little people". "I tell you I will not go home without the nuts". So he pushed open the gate and shoved the fairies in. With that twenty fairies came along and got around him, and kept him there so the poor man never came home with the nuts for the children.
