    them is the fairies property.
    Once upon a time Patrick Sheerin, Glack, Rossinver, Co. Leitrim, cut a tree in it. Having cut the tree he brought it home with and left it in the farm-yard. That night about one o'clock he heard very sorrowful crys around his house. He asked who was there and the answer he got was leave back our shelter. The next morning as soon as it cleared he left back the tree and when he looked at it again at it, it was growing.
