(B) About twenty years ago Paddy Green Mahony down there in Ballyfaskin, Ballylarders, Co. Limerick was cutting hay with a workman in the lios-field. The day was very warm and Paddy was very thirsty."I wish" said he "one of those fine women in there in that lios would bring us out a drink".He hadn't the word out of his mouth when out walked a fine tall woman with a large jug of sparkling red wine. She offered a drink to Paddy but he refused to do as Paddy told him and he finished the jug in one swig. In three days after he was dead.
