   Once upon a time a man and a woman were coming home from the market it was very late at night. They then saw a crowd of cats sobbing and weeping. Two cats were on front carrying a dead cat. One of them said in a sad voice "tell queen Brigid when you go home that queen Ann is dead" When they went home they were telling about the cats. Their cat was at the fire she jumped from the fire when she heard what the man said and they did not see her since.
