  2. One night two men were coming home from town. When they were half way home, they came on two men fighting on the road. The two men passed out as they were passing. The two men ran in the bog and they were not seen again that night. When the got near home one of the men saw that he had lost a purse of money with £10 in it. He did not go out looking for the money. As soon as morning came he went out looking for the money. When he was near the place where the men were fighting, the purse was thrown out from inside the ditch. That is how he got his purse of money
