   grand lady and both of them were living in a palace. His mother wouldn't believe him at first but when he told her all his experiences she believed him. Jack then told her that his happiness wouldn't be complete until she would come and live with him at the palace.
   You may be sure his mother gladly axcepted this, and went with him and the three of them Jack, his wife, and his mother lived happy ever afterwards.
   This story was told to me by my father Thomas Butler aged 63. He heard it from an old man Fitzgerald was his name fifty years ago. Fitzgerald was a native of Enniscorthy.
