- Séan Éamoinn of Curry, sets a traped, uncovered at the mouth of a fox den, and conceals himself in the heather close by to watch the behaviour of the fox when it return and detects the trap. The fox returns with some provender in his mouth. When it sees the trap it drops the provender, takes up a small stone, which it lets fall on the plate of the trap, this springs the trap without harm. The fox rolls on the ground as if in joy of its escape. On the following day Seán sets two traps one uncovered and with coarse grass on the other. The fox returns carrying a chicken which it drops on seeing the uncovered trap. It springs this trap with a stone and again roll himself on the ground when it was caught by the second trap.
