- (continued from previous page)0'Clock a fairy came and stole the child while the women were asleep and another child was left in her place. This child was call the whinning child because she never stopped crying. It was in Keogan's for four years and it never grew bigger or smaller during that time but she was all the time crying. After a long time the keogan's got back their own child some people say that it was the priests who found her.
Old people say that when we are talking about the fairies we should say "God speed the fairies" or if we don't they would come and living us the night night.
