“One night a man was coming home rambling. ...”
One night a man was coming home rambling. He had to pass through a bog. When he was passing through the bog he saw a lot of little men playing cards. The man sat in to play with them and he had a hundred pounds in his pockets. One little man sat beside him and he was playing out of his pocket all the time. When the man saw his money gone he said: "Ye are devils: he said to the little men. Then he got his beads and blessed himself and he got his beads and blessed himself and when he looked again the little men were gone and the hundred pound was in his pocket.
