    There was a man whose name was
    He took stones from an old house where fairies lived to build a new house. So one night he was coming later than usual from some house and the fairies met him and took him down to Drumleek lake and dipped him in it, and told him to leave back the stones or if he did not he would see what he would get. So he went home that night and went to his bed and died.
