Old Irish Tale (continued)
“Once upon a time there were two men which lived in the north of Donegal and one day they went to Carndonagh together for a walk.”
(continued from previous page)that went to Carndonagh came to the spot that he left his comrade and he found him standing there still.
He asked his comrade was he standing there since he left him and he asked him what was he doing.
The man told him that he was not there since he left, that the fairies had took him and carried him all round the country and that he could not get away from the spot. Ever since this man had two white spots on the top of his head.
