  2. About 20 years ago there lived in Ballintubber a woman and a girl. Each morning as she came to school she had to pass a lios. Each morning as she passed, an old woman came out and spoke to her. Her parent noticed her pining away day by day. This morning her mother washed her face in dirty water and she did not see the fairies any more.
