- There was a man who lived in County Longford, he was able to carry his donkey on his back from the field where the donkey grazed to his home. This man used to catch the donkeys front legs and the man and the donkey danced.
One day while they were dancing the donkey died then the man made a coffin for the donkey and buried him and he put a head-stone over the donkey.- Collector
