“Once there lived a man in Derry. ...”
Once there lived a man in Derry, He sent his workman to cut some trees in the rath near his house. The man went and he was cutting a hill in the rath and a voice said not to cut the tree. The man said he had to not blame him; The next morning the man went out to cut the trees again. He found all the cows dead around the rath and their horns stuck in the ground.

“There was a family one time. ...”
There was a family one time. One day they were churning. The butter never came on the milk. They went to the Fairy man. He told them to put irons in the fire and to put chains around the churn the next time they were churning. When they were churning the next day they did this. A man came into the yard and went out again. Once he did the butter came on the milk. The man that came into the yard was the man who took away the butter. - Collector
