The moat
Once the moat was a house but now it is only a hiding place for the fairies. Once Mr Reilly was going past the door of the moat and on the wall he saw a little black man mending his boot. He went over to catch the man and while he was dong so the little man kept saying "Look behind you". Mr Reilly did look behind him and when he turned back again the man had disappeared off the wall.
