“There was an old man there long ago.”

There was an old man there long ago. He got his son married. His daughter-in-law was very cruel and bad to him. She used to put him out every day gathering faggot. He was so tormented in the world that he was always praying for death. One evening he went to gather the faggot. The bundle of faggot was too heavy for him. When he found that he could not lift it he prayed for death to take him out of this world. His request was granted and death appeared and asked him what did he want and he replied "A ghrádh ghil" to raise the little "beart" on me.
