    Share Share Post
    A beautiful young lady was walking through and disappeared. She was engaged to a young man who searched the country side for her. He went to the fairy doctor who told him to go to a certain gap at midnight and watch and catch her as she passed through and if he let her go it would be the worse for the both.
    He went to the hap and waited at last she came riding on a white horse and he grabbed her and took her home and married her.
    They lived happy ever after.
