“There was a smith one time and he was very poor...”
(ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)him he wasn't good enough. He went off then until he came to the gates of hell. When he was going down the narrow passage the divil saw him and was afraid to let him in for he was too clever for them. So he told him he couldn't let him in. "Well" says the smith "I may as well go back on the world again then", and he started to go up the dark passage, but he couldn't find his way, so he went back and asked the divil to light a wisp of straw and give it to him to show him light. The divil did so and the wisp of straw never went out, and the smith is travelling around the world still, and he is known by the name of "Willie the Wisp".
