The fox asked him to take him out and the goat put down his head and the fox caught his horns and he pulled so hard that he pulled the goat into the hole.

  2. Story.
    I heard this story from Dick Reilly, Finea, aged 75 years.
    Long time ago there lived one side of Drom Lis a poor old woman called Collyyaroo, and she had a little daughter called Annabellee. She was very proud of her little daughter and so she ought. For she was jolly and fat and sang like a lark. But she began to fail and pine away, till she was more dead than alive, but she kept the colour to the last.
