“Béarachán, a Kerry farmer was told in a dream that he would die when three kings came to his house....”

The big fire has died away and there was little heat left in the grey ashes. There was nothing under the tub. The three kings had laughed at Béarachán but now they felt sorry for him. They knew in their hearts that he would never come back.
