    He threw the ball of wax-end it stuck to the hare's forehead. The hare leaped out of the furze-bush, and "took up" a path that crosses Baltinglass hill from Coolnarrig. There was a man coming down the path and he "started" another hare. And hares - when they're hunted, are always looking behind them - and the two hares stuck their heads together, and could not stir.
    The man took the two hares and brought them home.
