    they were on the way a cart load of little stools passed by and the woman said "I wish I had one of them it would be grand for milking the cow" at that moment one stood on the road before them. The man got vexed and said "I wish it was in your head" the woman felt it hurting her head and the man had to wish it were out again and said "there are our three wishes gone for a little stooleen." They went home angry and tired.
