    If one is not careful what might Portunes drive into ponds in the evenings?

    Question #99288. Asked by BRY2K. (Sep 09 08 5:59 AM)

    		Portunes are tiny medieval fairies, described by Gervase of Tilbury as being the size of a finger. They are very old men with wrinkled faces who work on human farms. Friendly and helpful they may be, at night they cannot resist grabbing the bridle of a horse and leading the horse and its rider into ponds.
