  1. (continued from previous page)
    Long ago it was said that he was caught by a man when he was making shoes. He held him by the neck and the leprechaun told him where the gold was. It is said that the gold built a shop for the people.
    The fairies never get old. They live in forts.

  2. It is said that before a good person dies the bean-sidhe keeps crying round that house for three nights before the person dies. The púca makes fun for himself by harming people. He is supposed to go out on November's Night and put a curse on the fruits.
