“Years ago there lived a boy named Patrick Kelly.”
Years ago there lived a boy named Patrick Kelly. Many other boys and he went to pick blackberries. They went over to the rath in Mylerstown because they knew where there were blackberries. When Patrick began to pick a hand appeared to him and would not let him pick them. Then a fairy appeared to him and said, "Don't pick any blackberries there because it is my house and go home quickly". The boy went home and told his mother. He fell sick then and died in three week's time.
