  1. Long ago there was a man sick, he had a headache and he was very sick. He sent for Máire Ní Mhurchadha. When she came she gave him something the shape of a scull, she put it into his mouth. She said that he would live for ten years only. At the end of the ten years his head decayed and he died. He lived only for ten years more.
