Fairy Money Turned To Dross

: FAIRY MONEY TURNEN TO DROSS.
: Welsh Folk-lore

Fairies' treasure was of uncertain value, and depended for its very

existence on Fairy intentions. Often and again, when they had lavishly

bestowed money on this or that person, it was discovered to be only

leaves or some equally worthless substance; but people said that the

recipients of the money richly deserved the deception that had been

played upon them by the Fairies.



In this chapter a few tales shall be given of this trait of Fairy

mythology.
