- (continued from previous page)Long ago a man was watching his potatoes one night, because some of them were stole. A whole lot of fairies came on horses and he sitting at the potatoe hole. They had one idle horse and they were saying to other "What will we do with this horse"? Put that man over there on him, says one of them. So they put the man up on the horse, and they started off galloping, and every one of them jumped the man's house, and when the man himself jumped it says he "That's the best horse I ever seen for jumping". With that he was left sitting on the ground.
