    (continued from previous page)
    the wren boys go around gathering money to bury the wren. They go around all day and when night comes they divide the money equally among them. There were more wren boys in former years than at present. Some of the wren boys go together and have a dance. Others of them go to the town and enjoy themselves after their long day's travelling.
