  2. Long ago in Errismore their was a plague of rats. This man came to Errismore and he had a charm for putting away rats. They asked him to put away the plague of rats and he did. He wrote on a piece of paper some words and put it at the mouth of the rats-hole. The next day the plague of rats was gone. A man saw the rats and the leader with a piece of paper in his mouth.
