Paddy O'kelly and the Weasel (7 完)

Meanwhile the Connacht fairies returned to their hill, and Paddy given a purse of gold for his help.

Donal took him back home, and he was back in his bed before his wife had noticed that he had gone.

Paddy had settled down to enjoy his riches, when Donal came to Paddy to tell him that his mother was dead.

Paddy set fire to her hut with her body inside, as she had asked.
Once it was burned to the ground, Donal gave Paddy another purse of gold, saying, " This purse will not be empty in your lifetime. I am going away, but whenever you take money from here, remember me and the weasel. "

Then Donal was gone, and Paddy and his wife lived long and wealthy, and left much money and a farm to their children.

They all did as Donal had asked, and whenever they spent some of his mother's gold, they spared a thought for him and the weasel who had led Paddy to his wealth, when he had gone to sell his old donkey long ago.
