  1. One night this man was going into Sligo. As he went down the Line he saw an ass in front of him. He decided to follow it.
    Suddenly he found that the the hair was standing straight on his head and would not lie down. He hurried after the ass.
    As soon as he came ot Fritzgell's gate, the ass disappeared and the hair lay down on his head an he got into Sligo without any more adventures.
