- (continued from previous page)a needle unknown to yourself. One night the man was coming in from visit and a strange little black man followed him. Both ran fast and the man just reached his own home in time to hear the strange black fellow saying "Only for the needle is stuck on your trousers your wouldn't go home safely". The needle worked the charm and only for the Monaveen tailor he would probably have been killed.
N.B. It is common superstition around here that if a needle is stuck in the clothing of a card-player who is losing, he will win. The needle however must be put on his clothes unknown to him. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
