- Once upon a time a man and a woman lived together in a house in Moydrisken.
They had a Child. One night the Child was brought by the fairies and another was left in its place.
When the man and woman would go out the Child would start to play a fife.
The woman told an old man about the Child
The man told her to go in and say Moydrisken fort is on fire.
The woman did so She went in and said Moydrisken fort is on fire.
"If it is all my tools will be burned," the child said so away with him.
