- A boy was cutting a stick for a hurley one day off a holly bush. He chanced to look over at his house, and he saw that it was on fire, so he ran back to it but there was nothing on it. He went back again to cut the hurley, and again saw the house on fire, and went back to see it again, but could see nothing wrong with it, so he said to himself "I will not come back any more no matter what happens". He cut the hurley, and when he went back to his house it was burned to ashes.
