- There was once a man who lifted a stone up out of a gullet and the fairies took him away and told him to leave back the stone again. He asked them to let him go and that he would leave it back in the morning. They let him go and he left it back. The stone seemed much lighter than it was the night before. He never touched the stone again after that.
I heard this story from Annie Brown, Fahy, Westport.
