  1. A Funny Story

    Share Share Post
    On the road from Kilcolgan to Reynaun a witch hare is supposed to run every Saturday night.
    One night a man was coming along the road in a cart drawn by an ass. When he came to the turn, the hare jumped out of the ditch and frightened the ass.
    The man got down from the cart, and looked around to see if he could see the hare any more, but he could not.
