    are eyes on it and caught it. She said she would not let him go unless he gave her three wishes. The fair was in Longwood, Co. Meath that day and she said "I wish I was in the fair of Longwood" and she found herself in the fair. She walked about for a while and she found a place where butter tubs were sold. So she said "I wish I had a butter tub". She got the butter tub. She had only one more wish left and she wished she was home and she was at home with the butter tub. So she got nothing from the three wishes but a butter tub.
