“One night a man who was living in Oranmore was returning home from a fair in Galway.”
One night when a man was returning home from a fair in Galway. The man as alone and it was after midnight. Suddenly he heard lovely music being played . He then saw a number of men and women dancing in the road and keeping time to the music. He could not see who was playing the music. He noticed that one of the women was alone so he went over to her and they too started to dance on the road. After a while the music ceased and all the dancers disappeared and the man was left alone on the road. He was quite happy, so he continued his journey and reached home safely. - Collector
