  1. The White Rabbit

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time there lived a man in Wicklow who, going and coming to work had to pass a graveyard. Ever evening as he was coming home a white rabbit came out at the graveyard and sat on front of him. He told the neighbours of his strange happenings and they advised him to tell the priest. When he told the priest he said to ask the rabbit what he wanted. The rabbit said he only wanted a Mass said and before the man could answer the rabbit dissapeared.
