- (continued from previous page)three wishes before sunset in the evening. The woman said she would have one of the wishes and the man said she would not. So they fought the whole way to Longford. When they went to Longford the woman went up the street. She saw a strainer hanging outside a door. She said I wish I got that. At that it jumped into her arms. When she met her husband he asked her where did she get the strainer and she told him she wished for it. And the man said I wish it was stuck on your nose and so it was and he had to give his other wish for it to be taken down. So he gave his three wishes away for nothing.
