  1. Once upon a time a man named Peter Duncan was working in a place named Pullough, Ferbane, Offaly, when he heard music "Well" said he, "there must be a dance somewhere" So off he set in the direction in which he heard the music
    On and on he wandered and the music seemed to coax him still farther, until he lost his way. At cock-crow in the morning he found himself on a green hill miles away from Pullough, and there was a fairy ring around him.
