- 343. Sceal
One upon a time there lived a woman who used to be always up later at night knitting.
One night as she was sitting by the fire she heard a knock at the door but she paid no heed to it. The knock came to the window, but she paid no heed to it, and she heard a voice saying
Go to bed
Go to bed
The day is for the living and the night is for the dead
The woman ran to the bed as quick as she could and ever since that night the woman went to bed early.
