- One time two men were coming from a fair and they had to pass the fort. They saw lights in it and they heard great singing but could not make out the words.They went into the fort and saw crowds dancing. A wee man was playing a fiddle for the dance.He was sitting on a gold stool.They took the stool and ran home with it.They were happy till morning when each found his youngest child was missing and the gold stool was gone too.The children never came back and no gold was found either.
