    Once upon a time there were men out hunting and they saw a boy and they asked him could he tell them where they would get a hare. He told them to come back at a certain time the next day and he would get them a hare. They came the next day with two greyhounds and one of them was a black one. The boy said to go up into those whins and he said that they would get a hare. They raised the hare and they boy shouted run Mammy run the black greyhound has you.
