- (continued from previous page)after his hills were covered with cattle. When the cow was getting old the man said that he would sell. His wife told him to let her stay with them seeing the way she came. But he said that he would sell her. One day he said to his wife that he was going to sell her that day.
He went out and loosed from the stake to take her to fair. But when she came out of the byre she ran down the field where there was a lough and she ran into it. And all the cattle on the hills ran in after her.
And it is supposed that the cow came up out of the lough before when the man got her standing at the corner of the house.- Collector
