  1. Aglish, Cappoquin Co. Waterford - Story - Lios and Fairies

    Share Share Post
    Once a man started digging a lios and the fairies put his mouth back to his ear. He went to a priest and the priest cured him.
    Long ago a king put his servants digging a path between two lioses. The fairies then took away the princess and left an ugly child in its place because the fairies were wild with the king for digging the path. After a while the king found that the ugly child was not his daughter at all. So he closed the path again. Then the fairies brought back the princess and took away the ugly one.
