Bear Creek is a small village in the outskirts of Texas where lived a family of five. The family consisted of an old man aged 63, his wife aged 58 and two sons aged 35 and 18 respectively. The source of income was a buffalo through which the family met their expenses. The old man sold milk in the village and both his sons were the potter.

Everything was going fine until one day, the old man’s wife started to feel unwell. She consulted a local doctor but nothing seemed to be going her way. The family didn’t have enough money to take her to the city for her treatment. Due to lack of resources and appropriate treatment, unfortunately, the women took her last breath.

The family was in distress. The old man cursed himself for not taking care of her. The boys cried their hearts out for days. The old man composed himself back and realized that now it’s his sole responsibility to take care of both the sons and the buffalo. Months passed away, everything appeared to be coming back on track.

One fine morning, the old man woke up at 4:30 AM to milk out. He walks towards the stable and finds that the buffalo is dead. Astound, the old man sat there with his jaw dropped. The tears were hard to stop, as the only source of income of their family was now no more. Now his only concern was how will he take care of his family as there is no income. All the savings were exhausted in the treatment of his wife. Feeling depressed, the old man started strolling towards the woods.

Reaching the woods, he sat beside the bank of a pond and blubbered on his situation. Since his cry was loud, a beautiful fairy emerged from the pond. The old man was in absolute shock to see the unanticipated appearance of the fairy. Before the old man could understand or respond to the situation, a soothing voice pitched the eardrums of the old man.

“What happened to you? Why are you crying my friend?” asked the fairy playing with her wand.

“Who are you?” the surprised old man questioned back.

“I am Natalia, a fairy and the angel of happiness and lust” answered the fairy with a smile.

“Now tell me what happened to you?” she asked again.

**The old man explains his miserable situation**

“Well, I can help you with that. Though I cannot bring your wife back but surely I can bring your buffalo back. I hope it would reduce your pain a bit” said the fairly.

“How? What will I have to do? I will do anything that you order” replied the old man with a voice full of hope.

“You will have to do whatever I say and you can’t back out,” remarked the fairy.

“Yes, I am ready to do whatever you say” the old man agreed.

“You have to fuck me 3 times” whispered the fairy.

Since the old man had agreed to the fairy. He could not refuse. The old man proceeded with the intercourse. The first shot was successful. During the second shot, the old man could not handle the stress on his body, he shivered and felled down. The old man was no more. The fairy pitied the old man and disappeared in the pond.

Since the old man was missing from the morning, both the brothers had already started to worry. The elder brother asked the younger brother to stay home as he goes out in the search of their father. He goes around the village and enquires other villagers if they have seen his father this morning. Unfortunately, everyone denied.

Heartbroken, he decides to expand his search and enters the woods. He was horrified by what he saw. He saw his dad next to the pond, lying dead. He sobbed and cried for help. His voice echoed in the woods but no one answered back. He sat next to his dead father and started crying loudly.

His loud cry brought the fairy out from the pond. The fairy asked him the reason for his state of distress. The elder son explained the fairy his situation.

“Our father is no more. The buffalo died. How am I supposed to take care of my younger brother? Where should I go and what should I do?” said the elder son.

“Well, I can help you with that. Though I cannot bring your mother back but surely I can bring your father and buffalo back. I hope it would reduce your pain a bit” said the fairy.

“How can I say no to you?” he said and agreed to her without thinking any further.

“You have to fuck me 10 times” whispered the fairy with an evil smile.

With no alternative, he agreed and proceeded with the intercourse. The first shot was successful. The third shot was successful. The fifth shot was successful. After the seventh shot, his throat suffocated, his body paralyzed and eventually leading to his death on the spot. The fairy again pitied the man and disappeared in the pond.

It was starting to get dark and he had all the reasons to be scared. Since his father and older brother haven’t returned yet, he decides to go out and look for them. He followed the same route as his elder brother did. Firstly asking the villagers and then searching in the woods. Expectedly, he sees his father and brother lying dead next to each other.

Like his elder brother, he also started crying. The noise brings out the fairy. The fairy asked him the reason for his pain. The boy explained the fairy his situation.

“Well, I can help you with that. Though I cannot bring your mother back but surely I can bring your father, brother, and buffalo back. I hope it would reduce your pain a bit” said the fairly.

“What will I have to do,” asked the young boy.

“You have to fuck me 30 times” commented the fairy. The well-built boy agreed and the intercourse started.

Five shots. Ten shots. Fifteen shots. Twenty shots. Twenty-five shots. Thirty shots. The fairy died.

Since the young boy did what the fairy had asked, father, elder brother and the buffalo were alive again. It had got really late at night, so all three of them tiptoed back to their house.

The next morning when everyone was awake, the old man calls his youngest son and asked him, “How did you manage to kill the fairy?”

The boy simply smiled and answered, “Father, I managed to kill the buffalo and you’re asking me how I killed the fairy?”
