    A story
    There is a lisheen at the back of my house and long when I used have my work finished I used to ramble down to the Lisheen
    I used have great sport there watching the fairies playing hurley, and it is they that knew how to play.
    They used play against each other, and one evening they asked me to referee a match between them.
    I was only too delighted to do it, and when the match was over they gave me a pot of gold and I was very thankful to them.
