    Share Share Post
    There was once a Schoolmaster he taught school down in Kildare.
    Tor amusement for the children at playhour he used to turn himself into a rabbit and sometimes into a rat and get the children to run after him to see which of them would catch him.
    This was going on for a longtime till the children began to talk about the sport they used to have running after the master at playhour.
    The people began to think that he was not a right master.
    They planned to get a pack of hounds.
    The next day they got the children to get him to turn himself into a hare or a rabbit.
