An Bhean a Dhein Giorria di Féin.
There was once a man who had great suspicion on people coming to milk his cows onMay Eve.He made up his mind to watch the cows and to see if anything was going to happen. When it was beginning to get dark he said he would go out to see his cows ,and he took his dog with him.When he opened the cabin door he saw a hare milking one of his cows.He set the dog after the hare,and he followed the hare and dog into a house.,where there was a woman sitting on a chair in the corner ,and there was a stream of blood flowing out from under her chair.
The woman changed herself into a hare on May Eve to milk the man's cows.
