- (continued from previous page)There were fairies living in a fort and they were able to say Dé Lúain Dé Máirt, and one day an old man passed by and he heard them singing and he added Dé Céadaoin on to it and when the fairies heard it they were delighted and they took him in and made a feast for him and then the took the hump off his back and he was telling it to everyone. Another old man heard of it and he went to the fairies and he said Dé Lúain, Dé, Máirt Dé Céadaoin, but the fairies could not understand him and they got very angry to him so they took the hump and put up on his back.
