Translation:
I don't remember how old I was, but perhaps around 10-12 years old, and I was with my grandmother in her cabin. There was no running water in the cabin, you had to get the water from a well. Grandma had a tub in the kitchen where you did the dishes, and when I was done with the dishing, I went out to pour out the water. I was just about to empty the tub when my grandma stopped me. She told me never to pour out the water haphazardly, without first warning the little people living on and under the ground. Hence, ever since, where ever I am, and for some reason have to pour something out on the ground, I say: "Watch out, cuz now I'm gonna pour this out here!" Better safe than sorry!
Oh I love the story. Isn't it amazing what we remember from our childhood and continue to carry on those traditions, even the funny one! Those little fairies are adorable.
