    Some years ago in the month of November a farmer stayed out late digging potatoes, when it got dark he started to get ready for home, he went the usual gap to get out on the road, when he reached the gap, he thought he was going astray and he returned back gain, he was very upset and could not find his way. After a time he heard a voice saying "The day for the living and the night for the dead". He was kept out all night and did not find his way home until the cock crew in the morning.
    He never again stayed out after nightfall.
