   There was a lot more in this story but he has forgotten it.

   There was a man by the name of Jack Doyle one time lived in Highpark & he had no bedding for the pigs so he went for a bundle of straw to a neighbouring house & he got the bundle of straw & on his way home he was taken so far into an ould bog he lost his way. He saw a light in an Ould thatched house & he went & knocked on the door & a little lad with a red cap came to him & let him in so they were singing & dancing & playing on the floor - they were all little small men & one of the says who'll sing the next song & one of them answered up "Who only Jack Doyle"
