   will be coming.
   Too many people looking into a glass bring bad luck.
   If you sing before breakfast you will cry before supper.

   It is a flat meadow with a lone bush in it. Once upon a time a man named John Argue was coming home late in the night. He came home by Crockahiskey for a near way. When he was coming by the lone bush he heard a noise. A wee man came out of the bush, and walked up the meadow before him. When he came to the gap, the wee man was standing in it and would not let him out. Every gap he came to the wee man was in it and would not let him out until he came into his own haggard. He never saw him after.
