- There was once a little boy there whose name was Seáinín Crosta. He got sick and was in bed for five days.
One fair day his mother and father went to town selling butter. About two o'clock in the day he heard a bell ringing and he said to himself "This is my death". With that, a beautiful lady dressed in white appeared before him.
She took him in her arms and brought him to a big house where there was nothing but rooms in it. When the parents came home they frightened when they did not see the boy. They searched everywhere but they could not find him. He was never seen or heard of after that.(continues on next page) - Collector
