    Once there lived a woman with her servant.When she died she was brought to Ennis to be buried.When the servant boy came home from the funeral he went in to the kitchen to light a fire. There was a box under the table and it began jumping about the kitchen.He ran out in the yard for a while but afterwards he picked up courage and went in again.To his surprise he found out that it was only a cat that had gone to look for a bone.
