- Once upon a time there lived two men who were stilling. At that time people made it often.
One day as these two men were out stilling. They had the poteen nearly made when up came a fairy. These men were so busy making the poteen that to their utter amazement the fairy called "clear"
On looking up they saw the Guards coming up on them.
They ran at full speed and the Guards never caught them.
