  1. One night there were two girls coming from a shop. When they were passing a certain place a fairy came out and they were very much afraid. The fairy kept walking with them until they went a distance. Their brother came meeting them and he asked them what was wrong with them and they said their was a fairy after them. When they looked behind them again the fairy had disappeared and they went home.
    I heard this story from Annie Brown, Fahy, Westport.
