  1. Once upon a time there was a man and he went to the Castle of Lough Mask. He went up to the top of it and when he was just in the top of it fairies came all around him and they took off his coat and his jumper and he went down to the end of it and a big hole came and he fell into it. He came into a green field and he met a fairy and she shook her wand over him and he turned into a snake And she shook her wand over him again and he turned into a real man again.
