- Once upon a time there was a large family living at the head of Glentogher and they were very poor. One night there was nothing for the supper and no money in the house either. Next day one of the wee-folk placed a half-crown under a bowl. This went on for over a week, till at last the master of the house wanted to know where the money was coming from.
The wife would not tell him, so he tormented her and at last she told her secret. The next day when she looked she could find no money.- Informant
