    the serpent vanished. They took the money and gave it to the girl.
    There was once a man who was very fond of going visiting in the night and it used to be very late when he would be coming home. Every night when he would come in he used to sit down and light his pipe. He used to sit opposite the windows and when he would be going to bed the used to get a great blow and the man used to think that it was broken. For a few nights it happened like that and he was very much afraid. The nest time he heard it he out there were four men carrying a coffin and when he looked again they had disappeared. the man said he would get a mass read in the house and after that he never heard anything (unusual - of course).
