“Once upon a time there was an old rath in which there used to be fairies.”
One night a lovely lady came riding across the rath on a white horse.
There was a ring of fairies around a big bonfire.
There was one fairy there and he had a big stick in his hand, and he had a pot of porridge on the fire.
As the lady passed by the fairy was singing "Tis little my mistress know my name is Galway Wat"
The fairy kept on saying this until the lady had gone out of the rath.
