- (continued from previous page)He suddenly changed them all into bees and warned them not to say a word.
Then they flew away and went into the roof of a house in which a dance was going on. They enjoyed themselves watching and listening to the dancers for a while. Then one of the dancers who had a cold left a big sneeze out of him, and when the man who was changed into the bee heard this he forgot the fairy's warning and said 'God bless us". Immediately he fell from the roof and was changed back into his own form again.- Informant
