    Once there lived a rat and a weasel in a bog. The rat thought if he could kill the weasel he would have the whole bog to himself and the weasel thought the same thing. One day the two enemies met and had a terrific fight. The rat snarled at the weasel, and the weasel spat at the rat. Two men who were working near by watched the fight. When the men saw the weasel getting beaten one of them went to drive away the rat, but the rat gave him a severe bite on the hand. However the man struggled and killed the rat. The weasel that watched all the performance with the rat and the man, wagged his tail and ran away when he saw his enemy dead. After a while the bite on the man's hand turned to blood poison. He went to the doctor but it was no good. One morning early the man's wife heard a knock at the door, she opened it, and who was there only the weasel, the weasel that had fought with the rat, with a green leaf in it mouth like a docking leaf, it dropped the leaf at the woman's feet

    fell and died. The man was watching all the time at the fight. and after the weasel had the hare killed he went in and brought the hare to town with him. This did not please the weasel because he wanted to have a good meal on him and he followed the man to town. The man made the horse gallop as fast as he could go, but as fast as he went the weasel was just as fast as he. When the man reached the town he could go no place but the weasel was on his tracks. The man being so tormented by the weasel went into a shop and sold the hare to a shopkeeper. He did not get a very big price for it only what bought a bottle of stout. No sooner had the shopkeeper the glass left on the counter than up jumped the weasel and upset the glass. It fell to the ground and the contents were spilt and the glass broken. The man was sorry after this because the weasel did a great deal of destruction to his fowl

    Once upon a time a number of men were working in a field, reaping corn. They took with them a drink, made up of water and oaten-meal. They put the drink under a heap of bushes for fear the sun would damage it. After a time they came to a weasel's nest and young ones in it. One of the men lifted the nest very carefully and left it down on a sheaf of oats. The old weasel was looking on. She thought the men were killing the young ones, so she went and spat into the drink the men had. The people believe that a weasel's spit contains poison. Then the old weasel went to see if the little ones were dead, but when she reached the nest she found them safely. Then the old weasel seeing that they were safe, went and did her best to spill the drink, for fear the men would drink it.

    There was once a rat and a weasel fighting and a man was passing by and he began to help the weasel. The rat took a bite out of his leg and next day he was going to the doctor on a side car with some other men on the car with him. He was telling them his story. When he came to the place where he was bit, the same weasel came out and jumped up on the car and started licking the man's leg and it was not so very long until he was alright again. Then the weasel told him to turn back his horse again home and he would be alright The man did what the weasel told him and went away happily.

    a monster rat in a death grip. Over and over they were going and their teeth and paws going like a windmill. My father after a minute or two looking at them saw that the rat was getting the upper hand of the weasel so he up with his ash plant and makes a lick at the rat. How and ever with the rolling they had and the haste he was in instead of hitting the rat it was the weasel he struck. With that the weasel let go his hold and bit my father through the stocking on the shin bone. My father didn't lose his head but made after the rat as it was going for the wall and killed it. The weasel all the while was watching him sharply and when he saw what my father had done he took to his heels and away with him.
    My father who was bleeding a lot crossed the wall into a pond and started to wash the wound for he was afraid the weasel had poisoned him. When he had cleaned it as best he could he crossed the wall on to the road, and it wasn't his prayers he was saying coming out of him I may tell you. He was just about to face Roscommon again when what did he hear but a tipping behind him and looking back of him what does he see but the weasel coming

At last the rat was getting the better hand of him and he went to save the weasel, and when he went to save him, the rat bit him in the leg. Next day his foot was swelled up and he was not able to anything. That morning the weasel came to the door with a leaf in his mouth, the people of the house undertook that it must be for to put with the foot, because he saved him. So he put it with the foot, and next morning it was better. The old people say that it is not right to do anything on a weasel and if you do anything on him he will do something on you a short time afterwards.

    and the weasel tore the wool off the sheep and the next day the man got two cows dead in the barn. And another day a weasel went into another man's barn and nobody touched him and he went out again and from that day to this nobody likes to interfere with a weasel.

    the very same way again. They put the nest in it also. The weasel went and spilled the can because she did not want the men to get poisoned when the made up the nest again. She went into the nest and layed down comfortable. That is a lesson for everybody not to do anything in the weasel. There was once a man named Michael Hannery Musicfield near Milltown. He had potatoes in the end of the house and something was eating them. He set a trap near the potatoes. When he got up in the morning there was a weasel caught in the trap.
    He went out in the street and let him go. She went away looking behind her. He had fifteen young ducks in the end of the house. When he got up next morning the fifteen ducks were left in a row and their blood sucked. It was the weasel that killed them. If you do not do anything on the weasel she will not to anything on you but if you do anything on her she will pay you back. If she is getting beaten she shouts help to defend herself. They live in an old ditch or in meadows.
    The weasel bests almost every she tried to kill because she sucks their
