Summary

The Dun Cobbler and the fairies.

A fellow by the name of the Dun Cobbler once entered a fairy hill from which he heard the sound of music and dancing. When he came back out, it transpired that he had been there for about two years. He had not noticed the time.

The fairies would sometimes steal children and replace them with their own kind. One such changeling used to play tunes to a particular old man.
