    Then one of them said that he saw his father change a shinning thing and put it into the new stack. The mermaid went out and searched the stack. Then she got it and went for the sea. The children followed her and she hit them with a wand and changed them into three large stones. Some people say that they were near the same size. I think it is between Ballina parish and Easkey.
