    Folklore
    Long, long ago, there was a man, and he used to stay over at Russels.
    Every night he used to be out until after twelve o'clock. He was once playing cards in Morrisy's bar, and when he was going home he went into the graveyard. He lay day beside a toom, and fell asleep. When he wakened in the morning he saw himself swarmed with little robins. He went home, and he got a sore finger. After a day rags, and bones, and sticks came out of the finger, and he died within three days.
    From my father.
    Willie Murtagh.
