    went into a wood and told it to a tree and he got alright. After that the king's harp got broken and a man was sent into the wood to get wood to mend it and he got a piece of the tree that the boy was after telling his secret to and mended the harp with it. The first time that played on the harp was "Tá dhá chluais capaill ag ladhra Ó Laoinsig" and then everyone knew the secret.
