“Long ago people used to work pishogues.”
Long ago people used to work pishogues One night a man was coming out of a house when he came outside the door he got a basket of eggs. He and another boy went and put the eggs into another man's garden. When the man ploughed the garden he got the eggs, he was frightened for he thought the crops would fail. He went and told the priest. The priest said not to mind them and whoever did it the fun would be turned on them instead of him. To his surprise he had the best potatoes he ever had and his neighbours couldn't eat theirs.
