    3. "Tramps"
    Long ago tramps used come to the houses and they still come. The same people do not come out always unless an odd one.I do not know any of their names.They uses to come all the way from Limerick and Galway long ago.Some of them used to sell ballads and story books .The people bought them from them.They used only stay for about a half an hour.They slept by the side of the road.The people had compassion on them and they used to give them food.They always asked Charity and they walked all the way from place to place on foot.Nobody ever saw them coming around in crowds.A very odd one used to tell stories but I do not know any of them.
