  1. The Fairy Shoemaker of Drumrath

    Share Share Post
    One bright night a man was going home from his work and as he passed the rath in the hill he saw a wee man making little shoes under a lone bush.
    The man caught the leprechan by the neck and said: You are a good shoemaker.
    The little man laughed and said
    "What am I to the man behind you?
    The man looked behind and the fairy shoemaker disappeared.
