- There is a forth near the road where I go home from school. There are many stories about it.
One night two men were going home from rambling. As they were going near the forth they went in across the fields to hurry home. When they were passing the forth they heard a great singing. They were afraid and they though to get back to the road again. They were not able to get to it, or to get out of the field, as they thought.
When morning came they found themselves near Tulsk on a hill called Cargins. The fairies must have brought them without they knowing it.
