    (continued from previous page)
    did go and stood all day in the fairgreen with his two sheep. Of course he did not sell them.
    Ever afterwards when a very wet day would come the old people would say in Irish
    "Seo é lá Choncubhair agus a dhá chaora"
    This was told to me by Mrs Bernard Kelly, Feevagh, Dysart Co. Roscommon.
    This old woman is eighty years old.
