  1. There was a man who used to be out late ceiliding. This night he was coming home and he saw a light over across the fields. He went over and looked in on the window. There was a whole lot of little people inside and they dancing. When that dance was over someone said "Who'll dance next" and someone else said "Who but Jack outside the door" So they opened the door and dragged him in and kept him dancing there all night.
