I wonder did he find his hat yet" The days became weeks and the weeks months but still Tol-Lol continued his search never losing hope of finding his treasured hat. About six months afterwards he turned up again wearing the usual hat. He told that he had got it from a shepherd on the Wicklow hills about five miles from Shillelagh. The Shepherd had found it a frew mornings after the storm.
The storm had driven it before it from Kiltorcan to the Wicklow HIlls.
