THE FAIRIES OF CARAGONAN.

Once upon a time a lot of fairies lived in Mona.

One day the queen fairy's daughter, who was now fifteen years of
age, told her mother she wished to go out and see the world.

The queen consented, allowing her to go for a day, and to change
from a fairy to a bird, or from a bird to a fairy, as she wished.

When she returned one night she said:

"I've been to a gentleman's house, and as I stood listening, I heard
the gentleman was witched: he was very ill, and crying out with
pain."

"Oh, I must look into that," said the queen.
