  1. (no title) (continued)

    There was a man living in Moyasta long ago. One night he had a dream and he thought he saw a small man dressed in red clothes at the foot of the bed.

    (continued from previous page)
    heed to that noise but he continued his work until he came to the bottom of the well, and there he began to look for the buttons.
    He searched under every stone but no sign of them and he was getting very impatient. At last he lifted up one small flag and there he found fifty gold buttons. He brought them home and sold them for a big sum of money.
