    One time there was a girl that lived a short distance from us. She was about 14 years when one day she and her sister were playing in a field. They played very hard and she took a pleurisy that night. After a while her mother and the rest of the family that were sitting up with her heard a bean sidhe crying a piece away from the house. The people said that the bean sidhe was crying for the girl and that she was going to die. So after a while the girl died.
