- There is a rath in Mr. Kings field. The fairies used to live in it long ago. It is said if any man happened to cut a tree, would be killed.
There is another rath in Mr. Murphy's field. There is a hole in the rath. If any man covered the hole would die.

- There were many poets in this country long ago. Mr. P. Dowling was one poet. He used to tell stories and make poems. He was a very good poem-maker.
Fergus Finnbeul was another poet. He could make a poem in ten minutes. He could tack a wild duck over hills and through dales.
