(continued from previous page)
In a little lake in top of Benbow there is a crock of gold guarded by a large Eel. Why the hare has a split lip At one time the hares were going to leave Ireland. They said they were afraid of every animal and no animal was afraid of them. They called a public meeting to make arrangements for their departure. The chairman hare jumped up on a wall to make a speech and as he did a flock of sheep were on the other side of the wall. They were frightened and off they ran helter skelter across the field. The chairman called up the other hares and they all split their lips laughing with joy at the sheep being afraid of them.
