“About forty years ago an old man between 70 and 80 years lived in the village of Shallon.”
About forty years ago an old man between 70 and 80 years lived in the village of Shallon. When he was young there was a lone thorn bush in one of his fields which he cut and he got a hump. The people said that that was his punishment from the fairies for cutting their bush.- Collector
