A wayfarer asks for a night's lodging at a farm. He meets a very old man outside, but he is shown to his father who has to decide, and so on up to the seventh generation. Sometimes mixed up with fairy tradition: the old troll finishes by trying the man's strength.
“Bhí fear ann aon uair amháin. Bhí sé i gcomhnuidhe cóis fairrge.”
