  1. Once there was a man going to a wake. On his way he met a crowd of men singing. He said to them "Good men sing away." When he went on a piece he got weak. He went into a neighbours and stayed there until he got better. Then he went home and went to bed When he awoke the next morning there was not a bit of hair on his head but on the bolster. People say it was the fairies he met.
