  1. (continued from previous page)
    didn't the little woman enter and she all cut and bleeding. Look what you have done to me, she says. What did I do asks the man. You let your boy cut a lone bush says she and every stroke he gave the bush he cut me" says she .
    An' shure what can I do says he
    Go and on every cut on the bush leave a scraw.
    "all right" says he I will"
    But if you don't says she something will happen yours. Off she went and he forgot about her until one sunny day when he was sitting under a bush his own bull attacked and killed him.
