   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   How the fox got shut (rid) of the fleas. The fox was et alive with fleas, so he med up his mind to get shut of them. He wint to a sheep field and got a few bits of wool from the briars in the ditches and carried them all in his mouth in a little roll, till he came to the bank of the river. Then he set back very slow into the water and as he went back in, the fleas began to run up from the water.

   He went on till there was nothing above the water, but his puss, and the little ball of wool he held in the top of his mouth. All the fleas climbed from the rising water into that and then he let that float down the river. So that's the way the fox got shut of the fleas.

   (From several sources in Manister and Croom, but remarkable to relate the Manister version invariably had "moss" instead of "wool". Otherwise every version was identical. D.O.C.)
