Scéalta (continued)
“There were once two men.”
(continued from previous page)In the morning the man brought it home. He met the other man who said that the salesman should tell lies, and he asked him how did he get the money and he told him. The other man said said he would go under a tombstone and see. He went under a tombstone and the cats came again. One of the cats said that anyone who wanted to leave anything or take anything should do it quickly. One cat said he left a bag of gold and that he wanted it now They went searching and they got the man and they thought it was he who had stolen the gold and they killed him.
