Paddy O'kelly and the Weasel (5)

Paddy O'kelly and the Weasel (5)

Paddy found the pot of gold and as he lifted the lid from the pot, a black dog jumped out but Paddy remembered the warning.

Paddy replaced his dead cows and horse, and bought a flock of sheep with the money.

The priest arranged masses to be said for the old woman.

And he went to see the man who owned the house where he had seen the weasel.
The owner warned Paddy that the house was haunted, but Paddy insisted on buying it, and stayed in the house all night, until a little man appeared.

The little man's name was Donal.
Donal played the bagpipes and said that he was the old man's son, and that he would be a good friend, so long as Paddy told no one else who he was.

Then Donal said, " I am visiting the Fortress of the Fairies of Connacht. Will you come with me ? You shall ride there on a horse provided by me. "

At midnight, the two flew off on to of Donal's broomsticks.

When they arrived, the fairy leader said, " Tonight we are going to visit high King and queen of the fairies. "
They wanted Donal and Paddy to go with them, so off they all went.
