“Long ago there was a man named Patrick Fegan.”
Long ago there was a man named Patrick Fegan. He was minding sheep beside the hills of Coolagh. One night he heard lovely music and he looked up to the top of the hill but saw nothing. After a while he heard the fairies clapping their hands. Then they came galloping over where he was. He went to look at the sheep and found four of them gone and could not find them. He brought the rest of the sheep home and would not let them into that field beside the hills anymore. He let them into the field at his house.
