    path. When he was about to start building a woman came to him and told him not to build the house in that place so he built it and when he had built every night after the house was filled with fairies and the hair of the woman's head was pulled and dragged every night. She is lame ever since and her husband has only the use of one hand. They had not one day's luck since they built the house on the mass path.
