Summary

The man who didn't realise he'd been stuck in a fairy knoll for a year.

Two men went to a shebeen for whisky. On their way back they saw many people dancing through a door in the hill. One of them went in and the door shut behind him. The following year, the second man went for New Year whisky again. The hill was open and he stuck a knife in the door, so it would not shut, and went in. His friend was still dancing, with the pig of whisky on his back, and in no hurry to go home, not realising he had been in for a year.
