- A long time ago a farmer was ploughing a field where there was a "lios" (This lios can still be seen. It is situated near where I live) when he suddenly felt very weary, and sat down near the "lios". Before long he was in a deep sleep.
When morning came, as he had not returned home during the night his family went searching for him. The found him nearly dead at the mouth of the "lios". They took him home and put him to bed. He remained in bed for a few days and some time was was quite alright again, but he could never remember what happened to him the night he slept near the "lios".
