  1. Once upon a time, a man near Kilbeg went out to a field to langell a goat. He saw a fairy man going down at the root of a buachallán, and he went up to the buachallán, and put a langell on it, so that he would know it. He ran into the house to get a spade to dig it. He expected to get gold from the little man. But to his surprise, every buachallán in the field has a langell on his return.
