“There were two brothers living on a farm one time.”
There were two brothers living on a farm one time. One day the younger followed the older brother to see where he went every day. He saw him go to the seashore and blow a horn
A lovely girl came out of the sea and talked with him. An old wise man told them to take her cap and that she would stay on land. They did so and she stayed with them and married the elder brother. They hid the clothes she came in but one day she found them and went away to the sea again and said she had to go back to Tír na n-Óg.
