“Some time ago there used to be a black dog seen on the Kellystown road, between Ger Gorman's and the Leap.”
(continued from previous page)The dog was nearly as big as an ass.
He went ahead in front of them; his two red eyes were blazing in his head. Dan got a fright. He never saw the dog before.
Pat said, "God, don't mind him young fellow."Dan never went that way in the night, but the dog passed him.
The were very near home by the time the dog passed them.
When they came to the field at their own house, they saw a lot of little men, with red caps, kicking football.
They sat down on a big stone and watched them for about a quarter of an hour, then all of a sudden the little men disappeared so the two got up and went home to bed.
