    rath. He had only one cow and he started off one morning to sell her. Un the road he met a Leipreacán and they began to talk. The Leipreacán asked the man where he was taking the cow and when he heard she was up for sale he said he would buy her. He gave the poor man a bag of gold for the cow and then they parted. The man came home very much pleased and never had a poor day while he lived.
