    When he would arrive at the house he would cure the animal and go home again.
    The people said that when you would be passing the fairies would bring you in and make you play cards with them. They would not let you go until morning until the cock would crow, and when the cock would crow they would tell you to go home.
    They would laugh at you then and tell you that you were a fool and then they would disappear and not be seen until the next night.
