    There was once a man in Tully Sligo named James Mannion who had a cow calving. He went away for another man to help. When the cow calved Mannion went out to get hay in the garden which is near a forth. When he was coming in a little man jumped out of a bush and took the hay off his back. Mannion was afraid to go out for nights after.
