   The mouse was coming out when he saw the cat he came out no further. The cat said "Are you coming no further" "No" said the mouse. "I thought you told me when you would be dry you would let me eat you" said the cat. "I did" said the mouse "but sure" says he "there's no minding a man when he's in his liquor".

   One night a man was walking across a fort on his way home. It was very dark and he fell into a place where the fairies had dug out. The old people say the fairies prodded him to death with pins.

   Jack is alive & alive still
   If he dies in my hand a fortune I'll give
   Through rocks & through reels
   Through old spinning wheels
   Here goes Jack with his life in his heels'
   (played with a lighted stick)
