    another fairy child was left in the cradle in her place. This baby used to be always crying and annoying the people until at last a neighbouring man told them to gather all the irons they could and say the lios was on fire. They did so and as soon as the fairy heard the noise he jumped out of the cradle and away with him. The child was never got back.
