Summary
The fairy woman who looked after the child.
A woman went out to tend animals, taking with her one child and leaving the other at the house. The child got outside. A fairy woman came by who picked up the child and carried him inside. When the woman came back she found the fairy singing 'Hi ho ro mo Ruairidh Glinneachan' to the child. The fairy warned the woman not to leave the child on its own again.
