    One moonlight night a man was going home from his "céildhe". He had to go past a fort in a field in Pilmita. He heard music in the detection of the fort. He listened for a while and then he went back to the fort and he saw a little man with a green coat and a red cap on his head. There were two little tassels on the cap. The fairy brought him into the fort and made him dance. When he was going home the fairy gave him a pot of gold. the man did not say "thanks" and the fairy went after him and took it off him. "Learn manners" says he
