béaloideas
Long ago there lived a man and his wife and they had a beautiful orchard.
When the mother died a great many young boys came to her wake. It was very late when they were coming home and they were very hungry and they went into the orchard and they filled their pockets.
When they were coming home out of the orchard they saw a priest in the orchard and he made them give back the apples.
After that they never since stayed at any wake late.
