- Long ago there was man, who used to be always out late at night. One night he met four men carrying a coffin. He went under the coffin, but the four men vanished. He carried the coffin home with him and opened it, and found a beautiful young girl in it. He put her sitting in a chair but she wouldn't laugh or talk. One day he began kicking up his cap, and she began laughing. She told him where she came from, and he went home with her and they got married and lived happily for a long time.Maurice CulhaneTold by
