- Long ago there used to be fairies in the country very often. They used to fill the country with bright lights.One night there was a man going home from a neighbours house and the fairies took him to their den.These fairies kept him for a fortnight and attended him very well.One day his parents were looking for him and they met a wee man and he told them he was safe enough. So one day the fairies took him home in a grand carriage and they told him if he would never tell where he was he would be rich. He told everything that happened to him so he never became rich.The name of the man was Mr Johnny W Marlin, Tullymore, Co Donegal, Age 48.
