    Long ago there was a bonfire at Nash, an' wan evenin' there were a lot of people dancin' around it.
    There was a beautiful man there an' he asked a lady out to dance wid him. She got out with him anyhow, an' begob a man when the were goin' around in the buzz, the two of 'em went up in the air.
    The people tried to catch 'em, an' they couldn't.
    It is said that this man was a fairy
