“In Lowtown there was a house by the name of Dunne's.”
There was a house not far from Dunne's and there was an old man living in it. This man had four cows and he had them in a field near where Dunne's lived. The cows were very good and they gave good milk and butter. After a short time the cows milk was bad and he knew that someone was taking the good from the cows so he said he would watch, and the next night and he went to hide behind a low bush. After a long time a big hare came up and went to where the cows were and said "All for me" three times. The man had his dog with him and he set the dog after the hare. The hare ran and went in through a window and the man went in and saw Mrs. Dunne with a sun bonnet on her and she sitting up in bed.Told by: Mrs Sullivan to Peg Regan, aged 11 years, Allenwood N.S., Co. Kildare.
