- One St. Stephen's night long ago a man was coming home from the town and he was drunk. As he was nearing the big Bridge a lot of fairies came dancing across the road and he began to dance and followed them. They danced till they came to the forth and the fairies had a feast ready and they invited him to eat and drink. So he eat till he fell dead and he was never heard of since that.
