One day Danjel Moran was going home by Fraine Rath. He called the Púca Práine to carry him home. The Púca Práine knew he wasn't tired or old but yet he carried him. He brought him through hedges and bushes till his feet were torn off him. When he reached home he thought he was an hour away but he was a week.

Danjel Moran must have been a famous character he is often quoted as the source of old stories.
