    A Story.
    There is a tree in a rath it is in the middle of it. There was a man that owned it. He cut boughs of it and he taken home the boughs he left them down to light his pipe and went to take them up again he could not. There was a man standing at the sticks his face was full of holes. Then the man went home and he never was seen there again. When his son was going for the cows and horses next morning, when the son came home he asked him did he see the sticks and the son said he did not see them.
    It is rotten now.
