“There was a man in the hills of Inishowen who had to tell a story to the king every night.”
(continued from previous page)between the man's legs and he was turned into himself again. Then the small man told him to take himself and his wife and his hounds and his money. He said he would take the hounds and himself but that he could keep his money and his wife because his wife hunted the hounds. But he took the woman and went and told the King the story. The King told the man that if he had no story for him any other day to tell that story to him over again.Collected by Mary Mc Keeney Glentoskert, Malin, Co. Donegal
