The Fairy Coopers
There was a cooper of the name of Cadden who lived in the lower end of Colmcille.
He was very poor, and he had a sick wife and a weak young family. He used to sit up late at night sometimes trying to finish work and he would often fall asleep. Whenever eh did the fairies would come and finish it, and after a while he had the best of luck.
