“One dark night a farmer's son was coming from his neighbour's house.”
(continued from previous page)was wearing a black coat. He asked the boy for a match to light his pipe and the boy told him he had none. He was about to go away when the man said “you are telling lies you have three matches in your pocket”. The boy put his hand into his pocket and took out a match and gave it to him. The man lit the match and flung it at the boy. About three weeks later, the boy died and the people found out that the boy was a Minester.Written by Billy Moloney Told by Miss Burke, David St., Tipperary
