Summary

The fairies get Luran to eat porridge so they can catch him.

The fairies tried to deceive Luran when he went into a fairy knoll. He had left a knife in the door and managed to escape home with a gold cup with the fairies in pursuit. He was very fast and when he got home they chanted, "If porridge was Luran's food he would catch the deer." He began to eat porridge but put on weight. He went back another time to the fairy knoll but, when he tried to escape, they caught up with him. They let him go when he returned the gold cup.
