- (continued from previous page)Then a little man came smartly out of a lone bush nearby, & stood beside Brian with a wand in his hand. He waved the wand over Brian, and Brian immediately became a large deer.The deer started fighting with the fairy woman but before long he found himself walking with her to a house of gold in which there was a large open fire. The fairy assisted by many other fairies put the deer under the grate.One day as the woman was lifting up the grate for some purpose, a little man came up & asked the woman did she remember the day a year ago that she took a (wom) man to this house. She said that she did. The man said "that was I", you thought you played a trick on me that day but twas I who played the trick on you.He concluded saying "I now own this house, fort, cows & fairies". Since then Brian was never seen among his friends.By:- Marie Hand, Carrickmacross.
