   Mise : Are you going to put wet rushes under my pigs?
   T.Ó Gormáin : And why not?
   You could sleep on wet rushes yourself and not get cold. Our Lord always slept on rushes.
   Mise : Where did you hear that?
   T.Ó G : I couldn't tell you exactly from where I heard it first but I always heard it at the old people.
