Religious Stories (continued)
“Once upon a time a man was going for the priest for his sister.”
(continued from previous page)this ditch and he heard a noise and there was a little man at the just where he was going to cross. The little man started throwing clods at him and he did not want to let the man out.
The man said he would go across whatever would happen. The little man threw another clod at the man and it met him in the eye. The man went home dead. A piece after himself got blind and he died not long after. They say it was the fairies that came for him.
