In a moment, each of the three leaders thrust his ball into his bosom. It made his coat bulge out, and at this, some of the fairies wondered, but all they thought of was that this spoiled a handsome fellow's figure. Or was it some new idea? IN A MOMENT EACH OF THE THREE LEADERS THRUST HIS BALL INTO HIS BOSOM IT MADE HIS COAT BULGE OUT AND AT THIS SOME OF THE FAIRIES WONDERED BUT ALL THEY THOUGHT OF WAS THAT THIS SPOILED A HANDSOME FELLOW'S FIGURE OR WAS IT SOME NEW IDEA
rms were on hand. The pigmies, who guard the palace of the king of the world underground, came in their gay dresses. There were three of them, and they brought in their hands balls of gold, with which to play tenpins, but they were not allowed to have any games while the meeting was going on. In fact, just when these little fellows from down under the earth were showing off their gay clothes and their treasures from the caves, one mischievous fairy maid sidled up to their chief and whispered in his ear: "Better put away your gold, for this is in modern Wales, where they have pawn shops. Three golden balls, two above the one below, which you often see nowadays, mean that two to one you will never get it again. These hang out as the sign of a pawnbroker's shop, and what you put in does not, as a rule, come out. I am afraid that some of the Cymric fairies from Cornwall, or Montgomery, or Cheshire, might think you were after business, and you understand that no advertising is allowed here.
