Ok...I think it goes something like this...
Girl and guy are walking through a forest ( lovers )...a evil fairy queen rides by and steals the man ( puting him on the back of her horse )....later on the girl is told that if she really wants him she must hide and wait in the place where the fairy queen rides by, and when she does she is to grab on to her man and hold on tight....And if she can hold on to him 'til morning he will be free. The catch is that when she grabs on to him he changes into many different things....thorns, slimmy thing, fire.....making it hard to hold on.....the girl ends up holding 'til morning, and gets him back....
Anyway, I heard it when I was little and thats all I really remember, but its been killing me not know what its called or how the whole story goes ! lol
please please help me out !
