   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   There was an old man one time and every Sunday when the family went to mass he used to stay at home to mind the house. This day he was sitting within the house when a small little woman came in and asked him for a dish of meal. He went over to the dresser to get a dish of meal. He went over to the dresser to get a dish and passed by a big one and took a small one. What made you pass the big one and take the small one. Give me the full of the big one and I will pay you back alright she said. He filled her apron with the big one and she went off. Next Sunday she came back with the meal and he took it and put it on one side. Why didn't you put it along with the rest of the meal its all right. He never let on to hear her and she went away with herself. A few days after the servant boy was scent out to cut bushes and he cut a lone bush that was in the field. The next Sunday when the man was house-keeping again didn't the little woman come to the house and she all cut and bleeding. Look at what you have done to me says she. What did I do to you says he. You let your boy cut bushes says she and every cut he put in the lone bush cut me. And sure what can I do says he. Go says she and in every cut in the bush
