The man and the dog kept going on until they came to a little grove on the side of the lane. There was a stile there and in a bit (in a bit) in the field there was a little grove. When the dog reached the stile he got in and (when) went towards the grove.

The people that heard of this say it was the devil. Written by Mary Ryan, Beechwood, Nenagh.
