"It is the tree of the fairy berry that grows in the Wood of Dooros," said the fairy, "and I have some of the berries with me." "Oh, you have, have you?" said the giant. "Let me see them." The fairy took three berries from the pocket of his little green coat, and gave them to the giant. The giant looked at them for a second.
I was willing then, I am ready now, to become the bride of the huntsman's son." Once upon a time the fairies of the west, going home from a hurling-match with the fairies of the lakes, rested in Dooros Wood for three days and three nights.
When the giant spied the red cap of the little fairy he gave the shout that sounded like thunder. The poor fairy was shaking from head to foot. "What brought you here?" said the giant. "Please, Mr. Giant," said the fairy, "the king of the fairies banished me here, and here I must stay for ever and a day, unless you come and guard the fairy tree in Dooros Wood."
But the robin could do more for her than she could dream of. He heard the remark made by the princess, and he saw Rosaleen's tears, and he knew now why she was shunned by everybody, and why she was so unhappy. And that very evening he flew off to Dooros Wood, and called on a cousin of his and told him all about Rosaleen.

The king, who would hear of no excuse, sentenced the little culprit to be banished into the land of giants beyond the mountains, to stay there for ever and a day unless he could find a giant willing to go to Dooros Wood and guard the fairy tree. When the king had pronounced sentence everyone was very sorry, because the little fellow was a favourite with them all.
When the fairies heard this they tossed their little red caps in the air, and cheered so loudly that a bee who was clinging to a rose-bud fell senseless to the ground. Then the king ordered one of his pages to take a handful of berries, and to go to Sharvan and show him the way to Dooros Wood.
Then Sharvan and the fairy page set off for Dooros Wood, and it was not long until they came within view of the fairy tree. When Sharvan saw the berries glistening in the sun, he gave a shout so loud and strong that the wind of it blew the little fairy back to fairyland.
'But we have neither silver, nor gold, nor herds, O Fionn, answered the two young men. 'I want none of these, replied Fionn; 'the payment I ask is but the head of a warrior, or a handful of berries from the magic tree of Dooros. 'Take counsel from me, cried Ossian, 'for it is no light matter to bring to Fionn that which he asks of you.
