   There was a man in Ballyguiltenane once, who lived with his son. There was a fort near the house and the father never wanted the son to let the cows into that field, but the son put them in there and on account of that they were often fighting. The father said to the son that if he put the cows in there again he would be sorry. The father died and the son was driving the cows into the field when he heard a voice saying, "You will be sorry, but sorry too late". The boy took no notice of the voice, but when he arose next morning he found the cows dead in the fort.
