- Story
Mrs Jane Hanley of New Ruskey told me a fairy story. She said Pat Norton New Ruskey was going down Mr Flynn's field of New Ruskey one day she said there is a little bush in the field. When he was passing the bush a little man came out from under the bush and gave him a box of ointment and told him his ass had a sore back. She said that Pat went home and sent his brother down to put the ointment on the ass's back. The boy went down to put the ointment on the ass. The boy came back alright. After three days the boy died.
