Summary
A fairy spoke to a man who was cutting marram grass.
A woman appeared to a man cutting marram grass on an island at Eoligarry. She told him he would marry and how many children he would have, but that he would never comb the hair of any of them in old age. He did marry and have children, but he drowned before the youngest was born. His children are still [1964] in Barra; they are younger than the contributor.
