“There once lived in Kentucky a man named James M McHugh.”
There once lived in Kentucky a man named James McHugh. One day about 30 years ago he lost a cow that was grazing in the field. He looked everywhere, but he could nit find her so he got the priest to call it out on the altar on Sunday that he had lost a cow and and any person that would find the cow to return her. Next day James went into the field and he found the cow eating grass beside a large rock.
It was supposed that the fairies had taken her under the rock for a little red fairy was often seen running around the rock.
