- A Story
A good many years ago a man went out cutting hay on a lios or fort. There was a little bush in the middle of the lios. He cut all the hay in the field but he left a small patchof hay around the bush. The next morning when he woke up he was quite bald. He had no hair except a small bunch on top of his head. He went out to the field where he had cut the hay and went around the bush eight times on his knees.Hhis hair grew again.
