  1. There was once a little woman who lived in a shoe she had so many children she didn't know what to do. She went out in the garden to pull a rod when she came in they were all dead. She went into the Church to pray for their souls but what did she say but h-anam ó'n diabhail. She went up on the left to ring the bell she heard a big rattle and down she fell.
