    Many a laugh I have too when the gentry pull up in their big cars to ask me the way. "Is this the road to Westport my good fellow" they say I can tell them for I know every road in the county. But I laugh at them with their maps and worried looks, and I wouldn't swop my heap of stones for the softest leather behind a driving wheel. I always have (the) a peep at every visitor because they pass me by slowly. So in the evening when everyone is wondering who was in the car that rattled by I can tell the whole story. I learn a lot on my heap of stones
