   it is certainly a fairy changeling you have for a son. Murphy was greatly troubled when he heard this for he had only one son. "I'll tell you how you'll find out whether it is a fairy changeling or not" says he "when you go home tell him that Gort na Pisha is ablaze" Murphy went home with the iron welded. When he got inside says he to the child. "Gort na Pisha is ablaze, Gort na Pisha is ablaze" The child looked at him in a terrible fright. "Oh that's awful" says he "as sure as shot me little big on bellows are burned" and away with him out through the window and off in the direction of Gort na Pisha.
