May Eve .
2nd of May, 1938.
Long ago the old people used to stick quick beam in the gardens incase the crop would be taken .Nowadays Holy water is shaken on the gardens, and and on the animals.The people used to say that the Pisóg women would turn into the form of a hare by the power of the devil and milk the cows and take the butter.The quickbeam grows high ,and the leaves of it is like the leaves of the ash tree.it used to be stuck in the gardens long ago but it is never stuck int hem now.
