"BIRD OF HAPPINESS"
Once in the middle of the Country there lived a family of five. The father earned his living by catching birds and selling them. Then one day he caught a fantnil. He took it home to the children. While he was away working the following day, the children let the bird fly away. On hearing what the children had done, the father was very angry. The bird, being one of Fairiel's messengers, flew straight to her. Fairiel sent the bird to the man's rich brother, and the bird led tht rich man to the poor man's cottage. "Brother," said the rich man, "come and live with me and share my riches." After that the wife of the poor man called the fantail "The Bird of Happiness. "HlfcL NYMPH'» (9). Kosene*th.
