- (continued from previous page)and it is a fairy and told the man when you are going home and when you come to the place keep saying "the fort's on fire the fort's on fire" he did so and the child came out again and clapped and his hands and said O my wife and children my wife and children and rising up from the ground he ran away. The man went home but he could not work the plough. And it wouldn't plough a single around but the little faires alone and would not pass any remarks of them.
