  1. Many people around here believe in fairies.
    Mrs. Gannon, an old woman who lived in Ballinteskan, used to tell the people that one morning she looked out of the window, about six o'clock when she was getting up, and she saw a little fairyman sitting on a big stone. He was all dressed in red, with a pointed hat and he was mending a little shoe. She left the window to call her son to see him, but when she came back, the fairyman was gone, and she never saw him again.
