  1. (continued from previous page)
    was grazing near the fort, and seeing the open door she entered. Seán just happened to come along and seeing the cow disappear he made a dash to catch her; but she disappeared and suddenly Seán heard a voice saying.
    "Let the cow along and you will be rewarded by the price of ten cows". Seán ran home more frightened than ever.
    Next morning he found a great sum of money in gold under his door. The cow has never been seen from that day to this.
