  1. Long ago there was a woman living in Calry who was taken away by the fairies.
    One night she was going out to milk the cows when the fairies took her away and left another woman in her place. The woman that was taken was very wise and she would not eat or drink anything from the fairies. If she did she would never get away from them so they sent her home again. On her way she met the fairy woman coming out to milk the cows. She took the bucket from her and the fairy woman went away. This woman used to tell her neighbours about about her experiences in the fairy world.
