Scríobh Mícheál O Caomhaoin
- There is a fort in our land and it is said there were fairies seen in it. Once a man waited out every night minding cows. One night he grew tired and lay down to rest under a bush. He saw another man on another bush beside him. The man had a gold watch .
The living man asked him for the time. The Ghost did not answer. The man asked again and again and the third time the Ghost said , "the day is for the living and the night is for the dead." The man went in home and he lost his sight.
