    The Skeig bushes.
    Once there was a man who cut skeig bushes and put them in a gap. One night this same man was coming home from rambling and the bushes were in the middle of the road.
    When the man went home his wife told him to put back the bushes in the gap.
    When the man went back to the place the bushes were on fire and there were fairies all around them.
