Reading Notes: The Old Man and the Fairies

This story happens in a time were fairies are present and abundant. They come out at night and dance all night long. They can be seen by green rings along the grass line. They were said to have a lot of gold, making them very rich. The Old Man figures this out when he is taken underground to were they live. I think in retelling the story, I could change the old man to a little child and having her parents not believe that she got the gold from the fairies because she is a foolish child.
