Mongan is raised by Manannán until the age of 16. Fionn then spends years in service to the wise poet Finegas, who educates Fionn and eventually gives him the Salmon of Knowledge to eat.

That night, a fairy woman named Saeve enters Fionn's room and begs for his protection from the evil magician Doirche. When Art returns, Ireland is in the midst of a great famine. After a long journey, he locates such a boy: the son of a king and queen on a remote island. The High King asks for her name, where she is from, and what she is doing. Becuma challenges Art to a game of chess and loses. The woman accepts, though she has fallen in love with Crimthann and would prefer to marry him. She decides not to follow through on her plan to meet Crimthann. Upon reaching Ireland, Delvcaem orders Becuma to leave and never return. Extreme bad luck to the extent of death is another outcome which is well known in Ireland when a person cuts down a fairy tree. Conn asks Becuma to marry him, not his son. The abbott convinces Tuan of the truth of the Fionn is the son of Uail mac Baiscne, captain of the Fianna of Ireland. It is determined that clann-Morna was attacked first, and therefore owes no damages, while Fionn's heavy losses count as his damages. The sisters tie them up and hide them in the cave. He objects to this change of plan, and much debate about what to do breaks out in Ireland. $3.00. Therefore, neither side shall pay the other. A fairy king with a grudge against Fionn has four very ugly daughters. The sisters attempt to kill him, but Goll slays two of them, and the third surrenders. His butler explains that a figure who looked like Fionn approached the castle, and Saeve ran out to meet him. Thereafter, he escorts Becfola back to Tara, and she realises that no time has passed since she left. Despite the family feud, Fionn and Goll remain personal friends. They encounter a beautiful woman driving a chariot. Goll mac Morna, the most renowned member of clann-Morna, attends a feast with the other Fianna. Upon Conn's arrival, it is revealed that he is to be sacrificed, not bathed. Fergus reluctantly agrees. In this way they passed on the legends of those who came before them, warned of spirit-haunted glens and hills, and delighted young and old alike. The two men make three attempts to reclaim their wives. The bean-sidhe (woman of the fairy) is thought to be an ancestral spirit who has been appointed to forwarn members of ancient Irish families of impending death. Cael and Carl travel to the race's starting point, while the Fianna wait at the finish. William Butler Yeats collects Irish fairy and folk tales in this volume.
