- Once upon a time my grand mother's cousin was herding his cows in a small field between two high hills. He was looking round at the high hills when he heard a noise. He looked up and at the top of one of the hills he saw a wee baby. It had a green cloak on and a red cap on its head.
He looked at it for a long time and then turned round to see where his cows had gone. When he looked again at the place where the baby was there was nothing to be seen but the bare green top of the hill.
