Three Short Tales of Fairies The Craig-Y-Don Blacksmith:The town's blacksmith was a known drunk. One day three fairies confronted the man and told him to stop drinking. If he did not he would die soon, but he listened he would benefit. The man decided to change his way of life and quit drinking, so a few months later he was surprised with three pots of gold (I assume the three fairies left this for him). Fairies. Wikimedia.
