(continued from previous page)he was picking them a fairy came to him and asked what was he picking the nuts for. The man said to eat them. Then the fairy disappeared and the man went home. After awhile he nuts began to get very heavy. They were getting heavier and heavier as he went along and he went began to sweat. Then he threw out the nuts out of his pocket and he got alright.- Collector
