"Oh, don't send me there! For all the men and horses of our parish, after working a week, have been unable to budge the stone." "We know that," answered the principal fairy, "but do you yourself try to move it. Then you will see what is certain to happen." OH DON'T SEND ME THERE FOR ALL THE MEN AND HORSES OF OUR PARISH AFTER WORKING A WEEK HAD BEEN UNABLE TO BUDGE THE STONE WE KNOW THAT ANSWERED THE PRINCIPAL FAIRY BUT DO NOT TRY TO MOVE IT THEN YOU WILL SEE WHAT IS CERTAIN TO HAPPEN
re not told of the generous intentions credited to the boy's father, by his loving son, they all came with horses, ropes, crowbars, and tackle, to help in the enterprise. Yet after many a long days' toil, between the sun's rising and setting, their end was failure. Every day, when darkness came on, the stone lay there still, as hard and fast as ever. So they gave up the task. On the final night, the lad saw that father and mother, who were great lovers, were holding each other's hands, while their tears flowed together, and they were praying for patience. Seeing this, before he fell asleep, the boy resolved that on the morrow, he would go up to the mountains, and talk to his fairy friends about the matter. So early in the morning, he hurried to the hill tops, and going into one of the caves, met the fairies and told them his troubles. Then he asked them to give him again some of their money. "Not this time, but something better. Under the great rock there are treasures waiting for you. WITH ALL HIS FRIENDS THOUGH HIS NEIGHBORS WERE NOT TOLD OF THE GENEROUS INTENTIONS CREDITED TO THE BOY'S FATHER BY HIS LOVING SON THEY ALL CAME WITH HORSES ROPES CROW BARS AND TACKLE TO HELP IN THE ENTERPRISE YET AFTER MANY A LONG DAY'S TOIL BETWEEN THE SUN'S RISING AND SETTING THEIR END WAS FAILURE EVERY DAY WHEN DARKNESS CAME ON THE STONE LAY THERE STILL AS HARD AND FAST AS EVER SO THEY GAVE UP THE TASK ON THE FINAL NIGHT THE LAD SAW THE FATHER AND MOTHER WHO WERE GREAT LOVERS WERE HOLDING EACH OTHER'S HANDS WHILE THEIR TEARS FLOWED TOGETHER AND THEY WERE PRAYING FOR PATIENCE SEEING THIS BEFORE HE FELL ASLEEP THE BOY RESOLVED THAT ON THE MORROW HE WOULD GO UP TO THE MOUNTAINS AND TALK TO HIS FAIRY FRIENDS ABOUT THE MATTER SO IN THE EARLY MORNING HE HURRIED TO THE HILL TOPS GOING INTO ONE OF THE CAVES MET THE FAIRIES AND TOLD THEM HIS TROUBLES THEN HE ASKED THEM TO GIVE THEM SOME OF THEIR MONEY NOT THIS TIME BUT SOMETHING BETTER UNDER THE GREAT ROCK THERE ARE TREASURES WAITING FOR YOU
