  1. Once upon a time some men were out working in a field near Ballyshannon. They were working for a lady. The lady lived not far from their field in which the men were working. One day, the men began to dig when suddenly they heard a lovely music under the ground. The music was so beautiful that they stopped and listened for a while and they began to dance. One of the men went for the lady and they asked her would she come to hear the lovely music, which was under the ground. The minute the lady came, the music stopped and when she went away the music began again. These men used to do nothing but dance and listen to music every day.
