“Once upon a time a man was coming from Gortahork fair.”
Once upon a time a man was coming from Gortahork fair. He had to go across a mountain. The fairies captured him in the middle of the night they said they would bring him home on horse back.
They got him on one of the horses behind one of themselves. They galloped him over hights and hillocks. He thought he was going to fall off so he started to shout and they only laughed. It was the morning before they let him go.
