- Once upon a time a man who lived in Coolnacarte. He had a gun and a hound. He went to hunt one morning and he shot a hare. He fired at another and wounded it and he went to hunt to get it, it was not a hare at all but a fairy woman who said to him. You shall die before 12 O’Clock to night, he went home very sad and died as the fairy said.
