    There was once an old man who went to the strand at midnight for seaweed. As he was coming home he saw two lights coming towards him. As they came nearer to him they went in the asse's ears. They stayed there until the man went home.

    There was once a priest and he was going to a patient. As he was crossing a forge he heard music and singing. He stopped on the road and listened. After a while he went away and when he came to where the patient was he was dead.
    When he was returning home he saw two bulldogs sitting at each side of the fire. It is said that the bulldogs were singing so that the priest would not be in time.
