The house was built under a big ash tree. He had a lovely black shiny dog, and the dog used sleep with him.

Next morning the neighbours went down to see him. but they saw nothing but the ruins of the house every thing was burned except the dog they went for the guards and the guards came and all they found was his bones, and they gathered and put them in the coffin and he was buried in Kilconnell Abbey.
