    (continued from previous page)
    was taking the turf he heard the grouse saying "Go back Go back" but he did not know it was the grouse. He thought it was the owner of the turf so he said "I will go back I will go back" and he began to back back and he fell in to the boghole and almost got drowned. The neighbours heard it after-wards and they were always making fun of him and praising the grouse. And as long as the man lived he never stole anything.
