    There was a house in Mayo and the people had to get a hathet to open the door.
    One night a man knocked at the door "Who is there said the little boy."
    It is me said the man. The boy recognised his voice.
    "Oh it is Mr Murphy get the hathet quick.
    The man ran away when he heard that.
