Fairy Forts(1) One evening as my grandfather set out walking and to our surprise he returned home later than usual. He went for the ass which was on the hill, taking with him a lantern in his hand. He left down the lamp and it was taken. Then a voice from the bushes said "who are you"? "If you tell me your name, I will give you back the lamp". Then my grandfather said "I will not tell you my name". After a few minutes a shot was heard and a bullet came by my grandfather's head. He returned that night and afterwards went to bed and a few weeks after he died.Written by : Michael Connolly
