- A long time ago it is said that in the village of Delvin there was a boy and he was very quiet and one day he began to cry. When his mother went outside the house. She heard music and she went back to see what it was and she could see nothing. She went out again, she looked in the window and she saw a fairy instead of the little boy.
She went to the priest and he came to the place where the fairy was and the fairy disappeared and the boy came back again. It is said that the fairies brought the boy.
