  1. One morning a man of Ballyline was going out to the field for his cows to be milked. When he was going through the field, he had to pass a fort and when he was passing it, a strange thing happened. A hare came out of it and stood up before the man and started whistling.
    The man did not take much notice of this, and the next morning when he was passing the same place, the hare came out, and this time, he was playing on a flute.
