    Once upon a time a man named John Walsh living in Carrowkelly when he had his supper eaten went out to the field tieing his horse. The faries came to him and said for to tie the horse to a buacalán and he did so. Then the faries went away again and brought the man with them.
    All night he was going in and out in his neighbours key-holes and in the morning he found himself untieing the horse from the buacalán.
