Fairy friends

Scottish Folk and Fairy Tales is a collection of Scottish fairy tales, folk tales and legends, which have been passed on from generation to generation, and have been brought together in this one volume. Have you ever read the Scottish Folktales? Let's introduce you with these gripping and mysterious tales... Fairy Friends begins with a good phrase - «it is a good thing to befriend the fairies». And why? This tale tells about a poor man, who is on his way to Hawick for the purpose of attending one of the markets. When he is passing over that side of Rubislaw which is nearest the Teviot, is suddenly alarmed by a frightful and unaccountable noise. He hears only female voices but he is not able to see the women who produce this rasping sound! Who are these invisible women? What do they want to do with a poor man? It is possible that they want to help him, isn't it?
