    He was about to start for home when the old hag said "do not let these down until you go home for you will be as poor as ever," "Never fear" said Murphy starting for home. When he was crossing the field the wind rose and he put up his hand to put on his hat but one of the vessels fell on the ground and changed into a white pigeon. All the rest changed and flew away towards the castle and no one ever saw from that day to this the old hag or the chamber with the gold.
