  1. (continued from previous page)
    by Kyle Rath Co. Kilkenny. There was an old grey haired woman in the ditch. She asked him could he dance, and he said he could if he heard music. "I wont be long getting you the misicians," she said. Two musicians came out of the rath. One of these was a hedgehog and the other was a hare. If he kept dancing till morning they would keep playing for him on two small fiddles but he got tired and went away and left them there.
