    Once there lived a man in Kyle. He had two farms one was near the house and the other was not. There was the ruins of an old house on one of the farms. One day this man went to give his cows hay. He had a dog with him. He saw a hare in the field. The dog chased the hare around the field. The hare jumped into the old house and the dog bit it on the leg. The man looked in over the walls and he saw an old fairy in the corner crying. She was bleeding out of the leg. Ever since the fairy is seen in the old ruins.
