- Once upon a time two men were going to a dance. The passed by a rath. They saw a light and they thought it was in a house. They went in and they saw a lot of little men walking around inside. They lay down and they went asleep. They wakened about an hour after, and they stood up to go home and the men appeared to them again. They lay down and went asleep. After a while the got up to go home again, and the same thing occured. They said they would go home because they might do them harm. After that they never stayed out late.
