- In the townland of Muff, Inniskeen, was an old weaver who worked very late every night in an old barn.
When it reached a certain hour of the night, he always had a great crowd of fairies who sang and danced and always made tea before leaving.
Some of the fairies each night, offered a cup of tea to the weaver, but there was always one, supposed to be a friend of his, to spill the tea and never let him drink it, for it was thought, if he once drank the tea, they had power to take him away.
