    There was once a woman who had only one daughter and she was very ill.

    The mother said to her one day "Will you come back and tell me where you will be when you die". I will she said.
    The girl died a short time after that. One night she came to the window but when her mother heard her coming she ran to hide from her and the girl said "Oh mother what trouble you have put me to. I had to swim Lough of Mettle to come here.
