  1. One day my father was ploughing a field beside Lough-na-gcler. There was fort in this field and my father took two scores off the fort. When he went in to his dinner a wee man came in and told him to put back the scores. My father hit him with a turf and the leipreachan left. When he came out there was one of the horses dead in the stable. No one ever ploughed within the yards of the fort since that.
    Same pupil.
