“Long ago there was a boy in Skreen named Griffith.”
Long ago there was a boy in Skryne named Griffith. One evening when he was bringing in the cows, the fairies took him. After a while they sent him home playing sweet music from a tin whistle. Every evening the same thing happened and the boy could not tell anybody who he was, only that he had been under the Castle of Skryne among the fairies.
