Story
31st May 1938
Once upon a time a man and his wife were going to a fair. As they came near to a bog they saw a leprachán lying on a bunch of heather. The man rushed at him and he caught him. The fairy told him he would give him three wishes if he let him go. The man let him go and he came our of the bog and told his wife. So they went on to the fair. When they were drawing near to the town the woman saw a tinker selling sauce-pans and she said "I wish I had a sauce-pan" and it came into her hand. After a while the man said "I wish I had a drink" and it came into his hand. Then the woman said "I wish we kept our mouths closed" and the three wishes were gone. So the two of them went home sadly.
