   Story There was a tailor there long ago and he was working for a widow's son making cloths. It was May Eve and the old widow told him to go home. He said he wouldn't go. The old widow went to the room to see was he asleep. He closed his eyes and pretended to be sleeping. She rubbed a white mug to her forehead and ran out the door going making phiseógs. The tailor rubbed the mug to his forehead and ran out after her. He ran into a field. A big tall man came into the field on horse back. He struck three lashes of the whip on him and told him to go home and he did.
