  1. Long ago when my father was young, he was going to the bog every day. So it happened one night, that it was late when he was coming home, and inside in Mrs Cummane's field near our school, he saw three big black men, about twenty feet high.
    As he was going to the bog next morning, he looked into the field, to see if it might have been three black sticks, but he saw nothing there.
