    Story
    Margaret Doyle, Tubrid, Ballylooby, Cahir, Co. Tipperary.
    Obtained from Edmond Doyle, same address, 60 yrs, farmer.
    One day a farmer sent his workman out to bring the sheep home from the far. The boy went along 'til he came to where the sheep were, and among them he found a hare. The boy had to bring them back but the hare was also going with them. The boy ran to catch him but the hare ran backwards and forwards, up and down until at last he followed the sheep. When the boy reached home the master asked him. He said that he was all the day after a "young sheep" that caused him more trouble than all the rest.
