Summary
A girl set to bake in the fairy hill and how she got away.
A girl keeping an eye on the cattle failed to come home because the fairies had taken her. They set her to baking and said she would get home when the sack of flour was empty. She made round after round of scones but the flour grew no less, until an old fairy told her to stop putting the leftover flour back in the sack. When she stopped, the flour diminished and in a fortnight there was none left. The fairies let her go home, but on Sunday they appeared in the church. They blew on her, and she never saw them again.
